Item 1.
            Business




General





The
Partnership was organized as a limited partnership on November 30, 2004, under
the West Virginia Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  Petroleum
Development Corporation, a Nevada Corporation, is the Managing General Partner
of the Partnership (hereafter, the “Managing General Partner,” “MGP” or
“PDC”).  Upon completion of its public sale of Partnership units on
February 9, 2005 (date of inception), the Partnership was funded and commenced
its business operations. The Partnership was funded with initial contributions
of $39.9 million from 1,523 limited and additional general partners
(collectively, the “Investor Partners”) and a cash contribution of $8.8 million
from the Managing General Partner.  After payment of syndication costs
of $4 million and a one-time management fee to the Managing General Partner of
$0.6 million, the Partnership had available cash of $44.1 million to commence
Partnership activities.  The Partnership owns natural gas and oil
wells located in Colorado and from the wells, it produces and sells gas and
oil.





The
address and telephone number of the Partnership and PDC’s principal executive
offices, are 1775 Sherman Street, Suite 3000, Denver, Colorado 80203 and (303)
860-5800.





Drilling
Activities





The
Partnership commenced drilling activities immediately following funding on
February 9, 2005.  As of December 31, 2008, a total of 49 productive
developmental wells (43.4 net) had been drilled in
Colorado.  Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells
capable of producing oil and natural gas in commercial quantities.  A
development well is a well that is drilled close to and into the same formation
as a well which has already produced and sold oil or natural
gas.  Gross wells refer to the number of wells in which the
Partnership has an interest.  Net wells refer to gross wells
multiplied by the percentage working interest owned by the
Partnership.





There
were no drilling activities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. See
Item 2,Propertiesfor
disclosure regarding the Partnership’s wells.





The 49
wells discussed above are the only wells to be drilled by the Partnership since
the majority of the funds raised in the Partnership offering have been
utilized.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s business plan going forward
is to produce and sell the oil and gas from the Partnership’s wells, and to make
distributions to the partners as outlined in the Partnership’s cash distribution
policy, discussed in Item 5, Market for Registrant's Common
Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities.





Business
Segments





The
Partnership operates in one segment, oil and natural gas sales.





Plan of
Operations





With
regard to the Partnership’s developmental wells drilled in Colorado, 36 wells
were drilled to the Codell formation in the Wattenberg Field and the 13
remaining wells were drilled in the Grand Valley Field.





Partnership
wells in the Wattenberg field were targeted to the Codell formation or
deeper.  The Wattenberg Field, located north and east of Denver,
Colorado, is in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin.  Wells in the area
may include as many as four productive formations.  From shallowest to
deepest, these are the Sussex, the Niobrara, the Codell and the J
Sand.  The primary producing zone for most of the Partnership’s wells
is the Codell which produces a combination of natural gas and oil.





Partnership
wells in the Grand Valley Field are targeted to the Mesa Verde formation. The
Grand Valley Field is in the Piceance Basin, located near the western border of
Colorado.  The producing interval consists of a total of 150 to 300
feet of productive sandstone divided in 10 to 15 different zones.  The
production zones are separated by layers of nonproductive shale resulting in a
total interval of 2,000 to 4,000 feet with alternating producing and
non-producing zones.  The natural gas reserves and production are
divided into these numerous smaller zones.





- 2
-
 Index




The
typical well production profile for wells in both the Wattenberg and Grand
Valley fields has an initial high production rate and relatively rapid decline,
followed by years of relatively shallow decline.  Natural gas is the
primary hydrocarbon produced; however, the majority of the wells in the
Wattenberg Field also produce oil.  For the natural gas, the purchase
price may include revenue from the recovery of propane and butane in the gas
stream, as well as a premium for the typical high-energy content of the natural
gas.





PDC plans
to recomplete most of the wells producing from the Codell formation in the
Wattenberg Field wells after they have been in production for five years or
more, although the exact timing may be delayed or accelerated due to changing
commodity prices.  A recompletion consists of a second fracture
treatment in the same formation originally fractured in the initial
completion.  PDC and other producers have found that the recompletions
generally increase the production rate and recoverable reserves of the
wells.  On average, the production resulting from PDC's Codell
recompletions has been above the modeled economics; however, all recompletions
have not and may not be successful.  The cost of recompleting a well
producing from the Codell formation is about one third of the cost of a new
well.  If the recompletion work is performed, PDC will charge the
Partnership for the direct costs of recompletions, and the Partnership will pay
its proportionate share of costs based on the operating costs sharing ratios of
the Partnership.  The Partnership may borrow the funds necessary to
pay for the recompletions, and payment for those borrowings will be made from
the Partnership production proceeds. Any such borrowings will be non-recourse to
the Investor Partners in the Partnership.





Title to
Properties





The
Partnership holds record title in its name to the working interest in each
well.  PDC provides an assignment of working interest for the well
bore, prior to the spudding of the well and effective the date of the spudding
of the well, to the Partnership in accordance with the Drilling and Operation
Agreement.  Upon completion of the drilling of all of the Partnership
wells, these assignments are recorded in the applicable
county.  Investor Partners rely on PDC to use its best judgment to
obtain appropriate title to these working interests.  Provisions of
the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”) relieve PDC from any error
in judgment with respect to the waiver of title defects.  PDC takes
those steps it deems necessary to assure that title to the working interests is
acceptable for purposes of the Partnership.  For additional
information, see Item 2, Properties – Title to
Properties.





Well
Operations





General. As operator, PDC
represents the Partnership in all operating matters, including the drilling,
testing, completion and equipping of wells and the sale of the Partnership’s oil
and natural gas production from wells.  PDC is the operator of all of
the wells in which the Partnership owns an interest.





PDC, in
some cases, provides equipment and supplies, and performs salt water disposal
services and other services for the Partnership.  PDC sold equipment
to the Partnership as needed in the drilling or completion of Partnership
wells.  All equipment and services were sold at the lesser of cost or
competitive prices in the area of operations.





Gas Pipeline and
Transmission.  All of the
Partnership's wells are in the vicinity of transmission pipelines and gathering
systems.  PDC believes there are sufficient transmission pipelines and
gathering systems for the Partnership's natural gas production, subject to some
seasonal curtailment and occasional limitations because of repairs, improvements
or as a result of priority transportation agreements with other gas
transporters.  Seasonal curtailment typically occurs during July and
August as a result of high temperatures which reduce compressor
capacity.  This reduction in production typically amounts to less than
five percent of normal monthly production without an effect on
pricing.  The cost, timing and availability of gathering pipeline
connections and service varies from area to area, well to well, and over
time.  In selecting prospects for the Partnership, PDC included in its
evaluation the anticipated cost, timing and expected reliability of gathering
connections and capacity. When a significant amount of development work is being
done in an area, production can temporarily exceed the available markets and
pipeline capacity to move natural gas to more distant markets.  This
can lead to lower natural gas prices relative to other areas as the producers
compete for the available markets by reducing prices.  It can also
lead to curtailments of production and periods when wells are shut-in due to
lack of market.  While the Partnership’s ability to market its natural
gas has been only infrequently limited or delayed, if transportation space is
restricted or unavailable, Partnership cash flows could be adversely
affected.





- 3
-
 Index




Sale of Production.  The Partnership
sells the oil and natural gas produced from its wells on a competitive basis at
the best available terms and prices generally, under contracts with indexed
monthly pricing provisions.  PDC does not make any commitment of
future production that does not primarily benefit the
Partnership.  Generally, purchase contracts for the sale of oil are
cancelable on 30 days notice, whereas purchase contracts for the sale of natural
gas may range from spot market sales of short duration to contracts with a term
of a number of years and that may require the dedication of the natural gas from
a well for a period ranging up to the life of the well.





The
Partnership sells gas at negotiated prices based upon a number of factors,
including the quality of the gas, well pressure, estimated reserves, prevailing
supply conditions and any applicable price regulations promulgated by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC.  The Partnership sells
oil produced by it to local oil purchasers at spot prices. The produced oil is
stored in tanks at or near the location of the Partnership’s wells for routine
pickup by oil transport trucks.





In
general, the Partnership has been and expects to continue to be able to produce
and sell natural gas from its wells without significant curtailment and at
competitive prices.  The Partnership does experience limited
curtailments from time to time due to pipeline maintenance and operating issues.
For instance, the Partnership experienced a minor curtailment of production in
the Piceance Basin due to limited compression and pipeline capacity throughout
most of fourth quarter 2008.  This interruption, due to third party
infrastructure, was corrected in early 2009.





PriceRisk
Management.  Price volatility is a very significant and
destabilizing factor in the oil and natural gas production
industry.  To help manage the risks associated with the oil and
natural gas industry, the Partnership maintains a conservative financial
approach and proactively employs strategies to reduce the effects of commodity
price volatility by utilizing commodity based derivative instruments to manage a
portion of the exposure to price volatility.  These instruments
consist of Colorado Interstate Gas Index, or CIG, based contracts for Colorado
natural gas production and New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, based
contracts for Colorado oil production.  The contracts provide price
protection for committed and anticipated oil and natural gas sales, generally
forecasted to occur within the next two to three-year period, but in no cases
longer than five years beyond the derivative transaction date.  The
Partnership's policies prohibit the use of oil and natural gas futures, swaps or
options for speculative purposes and permit utilization of derivatives only if
there is an underlying physical position.  While the Partnership’s
derivative instruments are utilized to manage the impact of price volatility of
its oil and natural gas production, they do not qualify for use of hedge
accounting under the terms of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities.Thus, the Partnership is required to recognize
changes in the fair value of its derivative positions in Partnership earnings
each reporting period thereby resulting in the potential for significant
earnings volatility.  See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies−Derivative Financial Instruments, to the Partnership’s
accompanying financial statements included in this report.





The
Partnership is subject to price fluctuations for natural gas sold in the spot
market and under market index contracts.  PDC, as Managing General
Partner, continues to evaluate the potential for reducing these risks by
entering into derivative transactions.  In addition, the Managing
General Partner may close out any portion of derivatives that may exist from
time to time which may result in a realized gain or loss on that derivative
transaction.  The Partnership manages price risk on only a portion of
its anticipated production, so the remaining portion of its production is
subject to the full fluctuation of market pricing.  As of December 31,
2008, the Partnership has oil and natural gas derivatives in place covering 90%
of its expected oil production and 76% of its expected natural gas production
for 2009.





- 4
-
 Index




The
Partnership uses financial derivatives to establish “floors,” "collars,"
fixed-price “swaps” or “basis protection swaps” on the possible range of the
prices realized for the sale of natural gas and oil.  These are
carried on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair values
recognized currently in the statement of operations under the caption "Oil and
gas price risk management gain (loss), net."  PDC, as Managing General
Partner of the Partnership, enters into derivative transactions on behalf of the
Partnership in the same manner in which it enters into transactions for
itself.  “Floors” contain a floor price (put) whereby PDC, as Managing
General Partner, receives from the counterparty, the floor price if the
commodity market price falls below the floor strike price, but receives no
payment when the commodity market price exceeds the floor price.  For
“swap” instruments, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives a fixed price for
the hedged commodity and pays a floating market price to the counterparty. The
fixed-price payment and the floating-price payment are netted, resulting in a
net amount due to or from the counterparty. “Collars” contain a fixed floor
price (put) and ceiling price (call). If the market price exceeds the fixed call
strike price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from
the purchaser and pays the difference between the call strike price and the
market price to the counterparty.  If the market price falls below the
fixed put strike price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market
price from the purchaser and receives the difference between the put strike
price and market price from the counterparty. If the market price is between the
call and put price, no payments are due either party.  Finally, “basis
protection swaps” are arrangements that guarantee a price differential for
natural gas valued at a specified pricing point, or hub.  For
Partnership CIG basis protection swaps that have a negative pricing differential
to NYMEX, PDC as Managing General Partner receives a payment from the
counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the
contract and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less than the
stated terms of the contract. See Item 1A, Risk Factors -The
Partnership's derivative activities could result in reduced revenue and cash
flows compared to the level the Partnership might experience if no derivative
instruments were in place.





The
Partnership participates in all derivative transactions entered into by the
Managing General Partner in a given area.  The transactions are on a
production month basis. Therefore, the Partnership may participate in a
derivative for a future period before it has production from that
area.  Prior to September 30, 2008, as estimated future production
volumes increased due to continued drilling and wells placed into production,
the allocation of derivative positions between PDC’s corporate interests and
each of the sponsored drilling partnerships changed.  As of September
30, 2008, the allocation of derivative positions was fixed, based on the
estimated future production at this date, between the Managing General Partner’s
corporate interests and each sponsored drilling partnership.  For
positions entered into subsequent to September 30, 2008, specific designations
of the quantities between the Managing General Partner’s corporate interests and
each sponsored drilling partnership, including this Partnership, are allocated
and fixed at the time the positions are entered into based on estimated future
production.  This allocation methodology is considered reasonable by
management of the Managing General Partner.  The Partnership believes
that in this rapidly changing price environment, derivative positions are
desirable to obtain more predictable results and to reduce the impact of
possible severe price declines from the Partnership wells.





Drilling and Operating
Agreement.  The Partnership
has entered into a Drilling and Operating Agreement with PDC.  The
Drilling and Operating Agreement provides that the operator conducts and directs
drilling operations, including well recompletions, and has full control of all
operations on the Partnership's wells.  The operator has no liability
to the Partnership for losses sustained or liabilities incurred, except as may
result from the operator's negligence or misconduct.  Under the terms
of the drilling and operating agreement, PDC may subcontract responsibilities as
operator for Partnership wells.  PDC retains responsibility for work
performed by subcontractors.





To the
extent the Partnership has less than a 100% working interest in a well, the
Partnership paid only its proportionate share of total lease, development, and
operating costs, and received its proportionate share of production subject only
to royalties and overriding royalties. The Partnership is responsible only for
its obligations and is liable only for its proportionate working interest share
of the costs of developing and operating the wells.





The
operator provides all necessary labor, vehicles, supervision, management,
accounting, and overhead services for normal production operations, and deducts
from Partnership revenues a monthly charge for these services. The charge for
these operations and field supervision fees (referred to as “well tending fees”)
for each producing well are based on competitive industry rates, which vary
based upon the area of operation.  The well tending fees and
administration fees may be adjusted annually to an amount equal to the rates
initially established by the Drilling and Operating Agreement multiplied by the
then current average of the Oil and Gas Extraction Index and the Professional
and Technical Services Index, as published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, provided that the charge may not exceed the
rate which would be charged by the comparable operators in the area of
operations.  This average is commonly referred to as the Accounting
Procedure Wage Index Adjustment which is published annually by the Council of
Petroleum Accountants Societies, or COPAS.





The
Partnership has the right to take in kind and separately dispose of its share of
all oil and natural gas produced from its wells.  The Partnership
designated PDC as its agent to market its production and authorized the operator
to enter into and bind the Partnership in those agreements as it deems in the
best interest of the Partnership for the sale of its oil and/or natural
gas.  If pipelines owned by PDC are used in the delivery of natural
gas to market, PDC charges a gathering fee not to exceed that which would be
charged by a non-affiliated third party for a similar service.





- 5
-
 Index




The
Drilling and Operating Agreement continues in force as long as any well or wells
produce, or are capable of production, and for an additional period of 180 days
from cessation of all production, or until PDC is replaced as Managing General
Partner as provided for in the agreement.





Production Phase of
Operations





When
Partnership wells are "complete" (i.e., drilled, fractured or stimulated, and
all surface production equipment and pipeline facilities necessary to produce
the well are installed), production operations commence on each
well.  All Partnership wells are complete, and production operations
are being conducted with regard to each of the 49 producing wells.





The
Partnership sells the produced natural gas to commercial end users, interstate
or intrastate pipelines or local utilities, primarily under market sensitive
contracts in which the price of natural gas sold varies as a result of market
forces.  Some leases, and thus the natural gas derived from wells
drilled on those leases, may be dedicated to particular markets at the time the
Partnership acquired those leases, or subsequent to, as part of the natural gas
marketing arrangements.





The
majority of the Partnership’s wells in the Wattenberg Field in Colorado produce
oil in addition to natural gas.  The Managing General Partner is
currently able to sell all the oil and natural gas that the Partnership can
produce under existing sales contracts with petroleum refiners and
marketers.  The Partnership does not refine any of its oil
production.  The Partnership’s crude oil production is sold to
purchasers at or near the Partnership’s wells under both short and long-term
purchase contracts with monthly pricing provisions.





PDC, on
behalf of the Partnership, may enter into fixed price contracts, or utilize
derivatives, including collars, swaps or basis swaps, in order to offset some or
all of the price variability for particular periods of time, generally for two
to three years, but in no cases longer than five years.  The use of
derivatives may entail fees, including the time value of money for margin
requirements, which are charged to the Partnership.





Seasonal
factors, such as effects of weather on prices received and costs incurred, and
availability of pipelines may impact the Partnership's results.  In
addition, both sales volumes and prices tend to be affected by demand factors
with a significant seasonal component.





Revenues, Expenses and
Distributions





The
Partnership's share of production revenue from a given well is burdened by
and/or subject to royalties and overriding royalties, monthly operating charges,
taxes and other operating costs.





The above
items of expenditure involve amounts payable solely out of and expenses incurred
solely by reason of production operations.  Although the Partnership
is permitted to borrow funds for its operations, it is PDC's practice to deduct
operating expenses from the production revenue for the corresponding period and
to defer the collection of operating expenses to future periods when revenues
are sufficient to render full payment.

Production
as shown in the table is net and is determined by multiplying the gross
production volume of properties in which the Partnership has an interest by the
percentage of the leasehold or other property interest the Partnership
owns.  A ratio of energy content of natural gas and oil (six Mcf of
natural gas equals one barrel of oil) was used to obtain a conversion factor to
convert oil production into equivalent Mcf of natural gas.





The
Partnership utilizes commodity based derivative instruments to manage a portion
of its exposure to price volatility of its natural gas and oil
sales.  Production costs represent oil and gas operating expenses
which include severance and ad valorem taxes as reflected in the Partnership’s
financial statements.  See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations―Production and Operating
Costs.

Oil and Natural Gas
Reserves





All of
the Partnership’s natural gas and oil reserves are located in the United
States.  Ryder Scott Company, L.P., an independent engineer prepared
the reserve reports for 2008 and 2007. The independent engineer’s estimates are
made using available geological and reservoir data as well as production
performance data including data provided by the Managing General
Partner.  The estimates are prepared with respect to reserve
categorization, using the definitions for proved reserves set forth in
Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a) and subsequent SEC staff interpretations and
guidance.  When preparing the Partnership’s reserve estimates, the
independent engineers did not independently verify the accuracy and completeness
of information and data furnished by the Partnership with respect to ownership
interests, oil and natural gas production, well test data, historical costs of
operations and developments, product prices, or any agreements relating to
current and future operations of properties and sales of
production.  The Partnership’s independent reserve estimates are
reviewed and approved by the Managing General Partner’s internal engineering
staff and management.





The
tables below set forth information as of December 31, 2008, regarding the
Partnership’s proved reserves as estimated by Ryder Scott.  Reserves
cannot be measured exactly, because reserve estimates involve subjective
judgment.  The estimates must be reviewed periodically and adjusted to
reflect additional information gained from reservoir performance, new geological
and geophysical data and economic changes.  Neither the present value
of estimated future net cash flows nor the standardized measure is intended to
represent the current market value of the estimated oil and natural gas reserves
the Partnership owns.

Estimated
future net cash flow represents the estimated future gross revenue to be
generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production
costs and future development costs, using prices and costs in effect at December
31, 2008.  The prices used in the Partnership’s reserve reports yield
weighted average wellhead prices of $38.13 per barrel of oil and $4.70 per Mcf
of natural gas.  These prices should not be interpreted as a
prediction of future prices, nor do they reflect the value of the Partnership’s
commodity hedges in place at December 31, 2008.  The amounts shown do
not give effect to non-property related expenses, such as direct costs - general
and administrative expenses, or to depreciation, depletion and
amortization.





The
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is calculated in
accordance with SFAS No. 69, Disclosures About Oil and Gas
Producing Activities,which requires the future cash flows to be
discounted.  The discount rate used was 10%.  Additional
information on this measure is presented in Supplemental Oil and Gas Information
- Unaudited, Standardized
Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves, included in this report.





Insurance





PDC, in
its capacity as operator, carries well pollution, public liability and worker’s
compensation insurance for its own benefit as well as the benefit of the
Partnership, but that insurance may not be sufficient to cover all
liabilities.  Each unit held by the general partners, excluding the
Managing General Partner, represents an open-ended security for unforeseen
events such as blowouts, lost circulation, and stuck drill pipe, which may
result in unanticipated additional liability materially in excess of the per
unit subscription amount.





- 8
-
 Index




PDC has
obtained various insurance policies, as described below, and intends to maintain
these policies subject to PDC's analysis of their premium costs, coverage and
other factors.  PDC may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease
the policy limits and types of insurance from time to time as deemed appropriate
under the circumstances, which may vary materially.  PDC is the
beneficiary under each policy and pays the premiums for each policy, except with
respect to the insurance coverage referred to in items 2 and 5 below in which
case the Managing General Partner and the Partnership are co-insured and
co-beneficiaries.  Additionally, PDC as operator of the Partnership's
wells requires all of PDC's subcontractors to carry liability insurance coverage
with respect to their activities.  In the event of a loss, the
insurance policies of the particular subcontractor at risk would be drawn upon
before the insurance of the Managing General Partner or that of the
Partnership.  PDC has obtained and expects to maintain the following
insurance.





1.
            Worker's
      compensation insurance in full compliance with the laws for the states in
      which the operator has employees;





2.
            Operator's
      bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance, each with
      a limit of $1 million;





3.
            Employer's
      liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1
    million;





4.
            Automobile
      public liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1 million per
      occurrence, covering all automobile equipment;
  and





5.
            Operator's
      umbrella liability insurance with a limit of $50 million for each well
      location and in the aggregate.





PDC’s
management, as Managing General Partner, believes that adequate insurance,
including insurance by PDC’s subcontractors, has been provided to the
Partnership with coverage sufficient to protect the Investor Partners against
the foreseeable risks of drilling. PDC has maintained liability insurance,
including umbrella liability insurance, of at least two times the Partnership’s
capitalization, up to a maximum of $50 million, but in no event less than $10
million during drilling operations.





Competition and
Markets





Competition
is high among persons and companies involved in the exploration for and
production of oil and natural gas.  The Partnership competes with
entities having financial resources and staffs substantially larger than those
available to the Partnership.  There are thousands of oil and natural
gas companies in the United States.  The national supply of natural
gas is widely diversified.  As a result of this competition and FERC
and Congressional deregulation of natural gas and oil prices, prices are
generally determined by competitive forces.





The
marketing of any oil and natural gas produced by the Partnership is affected by
a number of factors which are beyond the Partnership's control and the exact
effect of which cannot be accurately predicted.  These factors include
the volume and prices of crude oil imports, the availability and cost of
adequate pipeline and other transportation facilities, the marketing of
competitive fuels, such as coal and nuclear energy, and other matters affecting
the availability of a ready market, such as fluctuating supply and
demand.  Among other factors, the supply and demand balance of crude
oil and natural gas in world markets has caused significant variations in the
prices of these products over recent years.





FERC
Order No. 636, issued in 1992, restructured the natural gas industry by
requiring natural gas pipelines to separate their storage, sales and
transportation functions and establishing an industry-wide structure for
"open-access" transportation service.  FERC Order No. 637, issued in
February 2000, further enhanced competitive initiatives, by removing price caps
on short-term capacity release transactions.





FERC
Order No. 637 also enacted other regulatory policies that increase the
flexibility of interstate natural gas transportation, maximize shippers' supply
alternatives, and encourage domestic gas production in order to meet projected
increases in gas demand.  These increases in demand come from a number
of sources, including as boiler fuel to meet increased electric power generation
needs and as an industrial fuel that is environmentally preferable to
alternatives such as nuclear power and coal.  This trend has been
evident over the past year, particularly in the western U.S., where natural gas
is the preferred fuel for environmental reasons, and electric power demand has
directly affected demand for natural gas.

The
combined impact of FERC Order No. 636 and No. 637 has been to increase the
competition among natural gas suppliers from different regions.





In 1995,
the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, eliminated trade and
investment barriers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, increasing foreign
competition for gas production.  Legislation that Congress may
consider with respect to oil and natural gas may increase or decrease the demand
for the Partnership's production in the future, depending on whether the
legislation is directed toward decreasing demand or increasing
supply.





Members
of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, establish prices
and production quotas for petroleum products from time to time, with the intent
of reducing the current global oversupply and maintaining or increasing price
levels.  PDC is unable to predict what effect, if any, future OPEC
actions will have on the quantity of, or prices received for, oil and natural
gas produced and sold from the Partnership's wells.





The
Partnership’s well fields are crossed by pipelines belonging to Encana, DCP
Midstream LP (“DCP”, formerly Duke Energy), Williams Production, RMT
(“Williams”) and others.  These companies have all traditionally
purchased substantial portions of their supply from Colorado
producers.  Transportation on these systems requires that delivered
natural gas meet quality standards and that a tariff be paid for quantities
transported.





Sales of
natural gas from the Partnership's wells to DCP and Williams are made on the
spot market via open access transportation arrangements through Colorado
Interstate Gas, Williams or other pipelines.  As a result of FERC
regulations that require interstate gas pipelines to separate their merchant
activities from their transportation activities and require them to release
available capacity on both a short and a long-term basis, local distribution
companies must take an increasingly active role in acquiring their own natural
gas supplies.  Consequently, pipelines and local distribution
companies are buying natural gas directly from natural gas producers and
marketers, and retail unbundling efforts are causing many end-users to buy their
own reserves.  Activity by state regulatory commissions to review
local distribution company procurement practices more carefully and to unbundle
retail sales from transportation has caused natural gas purchasers to minimize
their risks in acquiring and attaching natural gas supply and has added to
competition in the natural gas marketplace.





Natural Gas and Oil
Pricing





PDC sells
the natural gas and oil from Partnership wells in Colorado subject to market
sensitive contracts, the price of which increases or decreases with market
forces beyond control of the Partnership.  Currently, PDC sells
Partnership gas in the Piceance Basin primarily to Williams, which has an
extensive gathering and transportation system in the field.  In the
Wattenberg Field, the gas is sold primarily to DCP, which gathers and processes
the gas and liquefiable hydrocarbons produced.  Natural gas produced
in Colorado is subject to changes in market prices on a national level, as well
as changes in the market within the Rocky Mountain Region.  Sales may
be affected by capacity interruptions on pipelines transporting natural gas out
of the region.





Through
December 31, 2008, PDC sold 100% of the crude oil from Partnership wells to
Teppco Crude Oil, LP (“Teppco”).  Generally, the oil is picked up at
the well site and trucked to either refineries or oil pipeline interconnects for
redelivery to refineries. Oil prices fluctuate not only with the general market
for oil as may be indicated by changes in the NYMEX, but also due to changes in
the supply and demand at the various refineries. Additionally, the cost of
trucking or transporting the oil to market affects the price the Partnership
ultimately receives for the oil.  Beginning January 1, 2009, the
Partnership began selling the majority of its crude oil to Suncor Energy
Marketing, Inc. (“Suncor”).

Governmental
Regulation





While the
prices of oil and natural gas are set by the market, other aspects of the
Partnership's business and the oil and natural gas industry in general are
heavily regulated.  The availability of a ready market for oil and
natural gas production depends on several factors beyond the Partnership's
control.  These factors include regulation of production, federal and
state regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, the
amount of oil and natural gas available for sale, the availability of adequate
pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities and the marketing of
competitive fuels.  State and federal regulations generally are
intended to protect consumers from unfair treatment and oppressive control, to
reduce the risk to the public and workers from the drilling, completion,
production and transportation of oil and natural gas, to prevent waste of oil
and natural gas, to protect rights of owners in a common reservoir and to
control contamination of the environment.  Pipelines are subject to
the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local agencies.  PDC
management, as Managing General Partner, believes that the Partnership is in
compliance with such statutes, rules, regulations and governmental orders,
although there can be no assurance that this is or will remain the
case.  The following summary discussion of the regulation of the
United States oil and natural gas industry is not intended to constitute a
complete discussion of the various statutes, rules, regulations and
environmental orders to which the Partnership's operations may be
subject.





Environmental
Regulation





The
Partnership’s operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing
the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to
environmental protection.  Public interest in the protection of the
environment has increased dramatically in recent years.  The trend of
more expansive and tougher environmental legislation and regulations could
continue.  To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action
is taken that restricts drilling or imposes environmental protection
requirements that result in increased costs and reduced access to the natural
gas industry in general, our business and prospects could be adversely
affected.  In December 2008, the State of Colorado’s Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission finalized new broad-based wildlife protection and
environmental regulations for the oil and natural gas industry which are
expected to increase the Partnership’s well recompletion costs and ongoing level
of production and operating costs.  Partnership expenses relating to
preserving the environment have risen over the past two years and are expected
to continue in 2009 and beyond.  While environmental regulations have
had no materially adverse effect on its operations to date, no assurance can be
given that environmental regulations or interpretations of such regulations will
not in the future, result in a curtailment of production or otherwise have a
materially adverse effect on Partnership operations.





The
Partnership generates wastes that may be subject to the Federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state
statutes.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and
various state agencies have limited the approved methods of disposal for certain
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.  Furthermore, certain wastes
generated by our operations that are currently exempt from treatment as
"hazardous wastes" may in the future be designated as "hazardous wastes," and
therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating and disposal
requirements.





Proposed
Regulation





Various
legislative proposals and proceedings that might affect the petroleum and
natural gas industries occur frequently in Congress, FERC, state commissions,
state legislatures, and the courts.  These proposals involve, among
other things, imposition of direct or indirect price limitations on natural gas
production, expansion of drilling opportunities in areas that would compete with
Partnership production, imposition of land use controls, landowners' "rights"
legislation, alternative fuel use requirements and/or tax incentives and other
measures.  The petroleum and natural gas industry historically has
been very heavily regulated; therefore, there is no assurance that the less
stringent regulatory approach recently pursued by FERC and Congress will
continue.  The Partnership cannot determine to what extent its future
operations and earnings will be affected by new legislation, new regulations, or
changes in existing regulation, at federal, state or local levels.





Operating
Hazards





The
Partnership's production operations include a variety of operating risks,
including but not limited to, the risk of fire, explosions, blowouts, cratering,
pipe failure, casing collapse, abnormally pressured formations, and
environmental hazards such as natural gas leaks, ruptures and discharges of
toxic gas.  The occurrence of any of these could result in substantial
losses to us due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of
property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental
damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and
suspension of operations.  Pipeline, gathering and transportation
operations are subject to the many hazards inherent in the natural gas industry.
These hazards include damage to wells, pipelines and other related equipment,
damage to property caused by hurricanes, floods, fires and other acts of God,
inadvertent damage from construction equipment, leakage of natural gas and other
hydrocarbons, fires and explosions and other hazards that could also result in
personal injury and loss of life, pollution and suspension of
operations.

 Index




Any
significant problems related to Partnership wells could adversely affect our
ability to conduct operations. In accordance with customary industry practice,
the Partnership maintains insurance against some, but not all, potential risks;
however, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover
any losses or exposure for liability. The occurrence of a significant event not
fully insured against could materially adversely affect Partnership operations
and financial condition. We cannot predict whether insurance will continue to be
available at premium levels that justify its purchase or whether insurance will
be available at all.  Furthermore, the Partnership is not insured
against economic losses resulting from damage or destruction to third party
property, such as the Rockies Express pipeline; such an event could result in
significantly lower regional prices or the Partnership’s inability to deliver
natural gas.





Available
Information





The
Partnership is subject to the reporting and information requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is as a result obligated to
file periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the
SEC.  The SEC maintains a website that contains the annual, quarterly,
and current reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding the Partnership, that the Partnership electronically files with the
SEC.  The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.  The
Central Index Key, or CIK, for the Partnership is 0001326539.  You can
read and copy any materials the Partnership files with the SEC at the SEC’s
Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1850, Washington,
D.C.  20549.  You may obtain information on the operation of
the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.








Item 1A.
            Risk
      Factors





In the
course of its normal business, the Partnership is subject to a number of risks
that could adversely impact its business, operating results, financial
condition, and cash distributions.  The following is a discussion of
the material risks involved in an investment in the Partnership.





Risks Related to the Global
Economic Crisis





The current global economic
crisis may increase the magnitude and the likelihood of the occurrence of the
negative consequences discussed in many of the risk factors that
follow.  In particular, consider the risks related to (1) the
rapid deterioration of demand for oil and natural gas resulting from the
economic crisis and the related negative effects on oil and gas pricing and (2)
the effect of constraints on the availability of credit for financing well
recompletion activities.  Also consider the interplay between these
two risks: the decline in oil and gas prices can lead to a reduction in the
Managing General Partner’s credit line borrowing base, which it may utilize on
behalf of the Partnership or other partnerships for which PDC serves as Managing
General Partner, to fund Partnership well recompletion
activities.  Similarly, further reductions in oil and gas prices could
result in existing Partnership wells being uneconomical to recomplete which
would reduce remaining Partnership proved reserves, further eroding the Managing
General Partner’s borrowing base, by its share of such oil and natural gas
reserve reductions, thus increasing the likelihood for borrowing cost increases
or loss of borrowing fund availability, for Partnership
activities.  These factors could limit the Managing General Partner’s
ability to execute the Partnership business plan and result in lower Partnership
production, adversely impacting Partnership income and Investor Partner
distributions.  Additionally, the global economic crisis also
increases the Partnership’s credit risk associated to derivative financial
institutional counterparty default or oil and natural gas purchaser non-payment,
thus potentially impacting Partnership liquidity and production operating
levels.  All of these risks could have a significant effect on the
Partnership’s business, financial results and Partnership
distributions.  Any additional deterioration in the domestic or global
economic conditions will further amplify these results.





- 12
-
 Index




Recent disruptions in the
global financial markets and the likely related economic downturn may further
decrease the demand for oil and natural gas and the prices of oil and natural
gas thereby limiting the Partnership’s production and thereby adversely
affecting Partnership profitability and Investor Partner
distributions.  During the second half of 2008 and to date,
prices for oil and natural gas decreased over 70% from mid-2008
levels.  The well-publicized global financial market disruptions and
the related economic crisis may further decrease demand for oil and gas and
therefore lower oil and gas prices.  If there is such an additional
reduction in demand, the production of natural gas in particular may be in
oversupply.  There is no certainty as to how long this low price
environment will continue.  The Partnership operates in a highly
competitive industry, and certain competitors have lower operating costs in such
an environment.  Additionally, the inability of third parties to
finance and build additional pipelines out of the Rockies and elsewhere could
cause significant negative pricing effects.  Furthermore, as a result
of these disruptions in the financial markets, it is possible that in future
years the Partnership would not be able to borrow sufficient funds to recomplete
most of the wells producing from the Codell formation in the Wattenberg Field
wells after they have been in production for five years or more, although the
exact timing may be delayed or accelerated due to changing commodity
prices.  Any of the above factors could adversely affect the
Partnership’s operating results.  For more information regarding the
Wattenberg Field recompletion plan, see Item 1, Business-Plan of
Operation.





Risks Pertaining to Natural
Gas and Oil Investments





The oil and natural gas
business is speculative and may be unprofitable and result in the total loss of
investment.  The oil and natural gas business is inherently
speculative and involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of a total
loss of investment.  The Partnership's business activities may result
in unprofitable well operations, not only from non-productive wells, but also
from wells that do not produce oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities or
quality to return a profit on the amounts expended.  The prices of oil
and natural gas play a major role in the profitability of the
Partnership.  Partnership wells may not produce sufficient natural gas
and oil for investors to receive a profit or even to recover their initial
investment.  Only three of the prior Partnerships sponsored by PDC
have, to date, generated cash distributions in excess of investor subscriptions
without giving effect to tax savings.





The Partnership may retain
Partnership revenues or borrow funds if needed for Partnership operations to
fully develop the Partnership's wells; if full development of the Partnership's
wells proves commercially unsuccessful, an individual investor partner might
anticipate a reduction in cash distributions.  The Partnership
utilized substantially all of the capital raised in the offering for the
drilling and completion of wells.  If the Partnership requires
additional capital in the future, it will have to either retain Partnership
revenues or borrow the funds from the Managing General Partner or other third
parties if borrowed funding is available, that is necessary for these
purposes.  Retaining Partnership revenues and/or the repayment of
borrowed funds will result in a reduction of cash distributions to the
investors.  Additionally, in the future, PDC plans to rework or
recomplete Partnership wells; however, PDC has not held money from the initial
investment for that future work.  Future development of the
Partnership's wells may prove commercially unsuccessful and the
further-developed Partnership wells may not generate sufficient funds from
production to increase distributions to Investor Partners to cover revenues
retained or to repay financial obligations of the Partnership for borrowed funds
plus interest.  If future development of the Partnership's wells is
not commercially successful, whether using funds retained from production
revenues or borrowed funding if available, these operations could result in a
reduction of cash distributions to the Investor Partners of the
Partnership.





The inability of one or more
of the Partnership’s customers or derivative counterparties to meet their
obligations may adversely affect Partnership profitability and timing of
distributions to Investor Partners.  Substantially all of the
Partnership’s accounts receivable results from natural gas and oil sales to a
limited number of third parties in the energy industry.  This
concentration of customers may affect the Partnership’s overall credit risk in
that these entities may be similarly affected by recent changes in economic and
other conditions.  In addition, Partnership oil and natural gas
derivatives positions expose the Partnership to credit risk in the event of
nonperformance by counterparties.





Increases in prices of oil
and natural gas have increased the cost of drilling and development and may
affect the performance and profitability of the Partnership in both the short
and long term.  In the current high price environment, most oil
and natural gas companies have increased their expenditures for drilling new
wells.  This has resulted in increased demand and higher cost for
oilfield services and well equipment.  Because of these higher costs,
the Partnership is subject to a higher risk for decreased profitability during
both future rising or falling, oil and natural gas price changes.





- 13
-
 Index




Natural gas and oil prices
fluctuate unpredictably and a decline in prices of oil and natural gas will
reduce the profitability of the Partnership's production operations and could
result in reduced cash distributions to Investor
Partners.  Global economic conditions, political conditions,
and energy conservation have created unstable prices.  Revenues of the
Partnership are directly related to natural gas and oil prices.  The
prices for domestic natural gas and oil production have varied substantially
over time and by location and are likely to remain extremely
unstable.  Revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas increases when
prices for these commodities increase and declines when prices
decrease.  These price changes can occur rapidly and are not
predictable nor within the control of the Partnership.  A decline in
natural gas and/or oil prices would result in lower revenues for the Partnership
and a reduction of cash distributions to the Investor Partners of the
Partnership.  Further, reductions in prices of oil and natural gas may
result in shut-ins thereby resulting in lower production, revenues and cash
distributions.  The prices from the fourth quarter of 2008 to date
have been too low to economically justify many drilling operations, including
well completions, and it is uncertain how long such low pricing shall
persist.





The high level of drilling
activity, particularly in the Rocky Mountain Region during the past two years,
could result in an oversupply of gas on a regional or national level, resulting
in much lower commodity prices, reduced profitability of the Partnership and
reduced cash distributions to Investor Partners.  The high
level of drilling, combined with a reduction in demand resulting from recently
volatile oil and natural gas prices and economic uncertainty, could result in an
oversupply of natural gas.  In the Rocky Mountain region, rapid growth
of production and increasing supplies may result in lower prices and production
curtailment due to limitations on available pipeline facilities or markets not
developed to utilize or transport the new supplies.  In both cases,
the result would likely result in lower Partnership natural gas sales prices,
reduced profitability for the Partnership and reduced cash distributions to the
Investor Partners.  Although additional pipeline capacity became
available in early 2008 with the expansion of Rockies Express Pipeline, pipeline
constraints continue for regional Rocky Mountain natural gas production
transportation to high-demand market areas.





Sufficient insurance
coverage may not be available for the Partnership, thereby increasing the risk
of loss for the General Partners.  It is possible that some or
all of the insurance coverage which the Partnership has available may become
unavailable or prohibitively expensive.  In that case, PDC might elect
to change the insurance coverage.  The general partners could be
exposed to additional financial risk due to the reduced insurance coverage and
due to the fact that they would continue to be individually liable for
obligations and liabilities of the Partnership that arose prior to conversion to
limited partners, which occurred on March 20, 2006.  Investor Partners
could be subject to greater risk of loss of their investment because less
insurance would be available to protect the Partnership from casualty
losses.  Moreover, should the Partnership's cost of insurance become
more expensive, or should the Partnership suffer a significant uninsured
casualty loss, the amount of cash distributions to the investors will be
reduced.





Through their involvement in
the Partnership and other non-partnership activities, the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates have interests which conflict with those of the
Investor Partners; actions taken by the Managing General Partner in furtherance
of its own interests could result in the Partnership being less profitable and a
reduction in cash distributions to the Investor
Partners.  PDC's continued active participation in oil and
natural gas activities for its own account and on behalf of other partnerships
organized or to be organized by PDC and the manner in which Partnership revenues
are allocated create conflicts of interest with the Partnership.  PDC
has interests which inherently conflict with the interests of the Investor
Partners.  The following is an itemization of the material conflicts
of interest of PDC as Managing General Partner of the Partnership and of PDC’s
affiliates:





·
            PDC
      might sponsor additional drilling programs in the future that could
      conflict with the interests of the Partnership.  PDC and
      affiliates have the right to organize and manage oil and natural gas
      drilling programs in the future similar to the Partnership and to conduct
      production operations now and in the future on its own behalf or for other
      individual investor partners.  This situation could lead to a
      conflict between the position of PDC as Managing General Partner of the
      Partnership and the position of PDC or its affiliates as managing general
      partner or sponsor of additional
programs.





·
            PDC
      has a fiduciary duty as Managing General Partner to the
      Partnership.  PDC acts as managing general partner currently for
      33 limited partnerships, including this Partnership, and is accountable to
      all of the partnerships as a fiduciary.  PDC therefore has a
      duty to exercise good faith and deal fairly with the investor partners of
      each partnership.  PDC’s actions taken on behalf of one or more
      of these partnerships could be disadvantageous to the Partnership and
      could fall short of the full exercise of its fiduciary duty to the
      Partnership.

 Index




·
            There
      are and will continue to be transactions between PDC, its affiliates and
      the Partnership.  PDC, as operator of the Partnership, has and
      will continue to provide drilling, completion and operation services to
      the Partnership’s wells.  Although the prices that PDC has
      charged, and will charge, to the Partnership for the supplies and services
      provided by PDC and affiliates to the Partnership will be competitive with
      the prices charged by unaffiliated persons for the same supplies and
      service, PDC will benefit financially from this
    relationship.





In
operating the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates could
take actions which benefit themselves and which do not benefit the
Partnership.  These actions could result in the Partnership being less
profitable.  In that event, Investor Partners could anticipate a
reduction of cash distributions.





The Partnership and other
partnerships sponsored by PDC, as Managing General Partner, may compete with
each other for prospects, equipment, contractors, and personnel; as a result,
the Partnership may find it more difficult to operate effectively and
profitably.  During 2008, PDC operated and managed other
partnerships formed for substantially the same purposes as those of the
Partnership.  PDC will operate and manage these partnerships in 2009
and for the foreseeable future.  Therefore, a number of partnerships
with unexpended capital funds, including those partnerships formed before and
after the Partnership, may exist at the same time.  The Partnership
may compete for equipment, contractors, and PDC personnel (when the Partnership
is also in need of equipment, contractors and PDC personnel), which may make it
more difficult and more costly to obtain equipment and services for the
Partnership.  In that event, it is possible that the Partnership would
be less profitable.  Additionally, because PDC must divide its
attention in the management of its own corporate interests as well as the
affairs of the 33 limited partnerships PDC has organized in previous programs,
the Partnership will not receive PDC's full attention and efforts at all
times.





The Partnership's derivative
activities could result in reduced revenue and cash flows compared to the level
the Partnership might experience if no derivative instruments were in
place.  The Managing General Partner uses derivative
instruments for a portion of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production to
achieve a more predictable cash flow and to reduce exposure to adverse
fluctuations in the prices of natural gas and oil.  These arrangements
expose the Partnership to the risk of financial loss in some circumstances,
including when purchases or sales are different than expected, the counter-party
to the derivative contract defaults on its contract obligations, or when there
is a change in the expected differential between the underlying price in the
derivative agreement and actual prices that we receive.  In addition,
derivative arrangements may limit the benefit from changes in the prices for
natural gas and oil.  Since the Partnership’s derivatives do not
currently qualify for use of hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded in the Partnership’s income
statements.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s net income is subject to
greater volatility than would be reported if its derivative instruments
qualified for hedge accounting.  For instance, if oil and gas prices
rise significantly, it could result in significant non-cash losses each quarter
which could have a material negative effect on Partnership net
income.





Fluctuating market
conditions and government regulations may cause a decline in the profitability
of the Partnership and a reduction of cash distributions to the Investor
Partners.  The sale of any natural gas and oil produced by the
Partnership will be affected by fluctuating market conditions and governmental
regulations, including environmental standards, set by state and federal
agencies.  From time-to-time, a surplus of natural gas or oil may
occur in areas of the United States.  The effect of a surplus may be
to reduce the price the Partnership receives for its natural gas or oil
production, or to reduce the amount of natural gas or oil that the Partnership
may produce and sell.  As a result, the Partnership may not be
profitable.  Lower prices and/or lower production and sales will
result in lower revenues for the Partnership and a reduction in cash
distributions to the Investor Partners of the Partnership.





The Partnership is subject
to complex federal, state, local and other laws and regulations that could
adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing
business.  The Partnership’s operations are regulated
extensively at the federal, state and local levels.  Environmental and
other governmental laws and regulations have increased the costs to plan,
design, drill, install, operate and abandon oil and natural gas
wells.  Under these laws and regulations, the Partnership could also
be liable for personal injuries, property damage and other
damages.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result
in the suspension or termination of the Partnership’s operations and subject the
Partnership to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, public
interest in environmental protection has increased in recent years, and
environmental organizations have opposed, with some success, certain drilling
projects.  Compliance with these regulations and possible liability
resulting from these laws and regulations could result in a decline in
profitability of the Partnership and a reduction in cash distributions to the
Investor Partners of the Partnership.





- 15
-
 Index




The
Partnership’s activities are subject to the regulations regarding conservation
practices and protection of correlative rights.  These regulations
affect our operations and limit the quantity of natural gas and/or oil we may
produce and sell.  A major risk inherent in our drilling plans is the
need to obtain drilling permits from state and local
authorities.  Because the Partnership plans to recomplete various of
its Wattenberg wells in approximately five years, for which permits will be
required, delays in obtaining regulatory approvals or drilling permits or the
failure to obtain a drilling permit for a well or the receipt of a permit with
unreasonable conditions or costs could have a material adverse effect on our
ability to develop our properties.  Additionally, the natural gas and
oil regulatory environment could change in ways that might substantially
increase the financial and managerial costs of compliance with these laws and
regulations and, consequently, adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to pay
distributions to Investor Partners.  Illustrative of these risks are
regulations recently enacted by the State of Colorado which focuses on the oil
and gas industry.  These multi-faceted regulations significantly
enhance requirements regarding oil and natural gas permitting, environmental
requirements, and wildlife protection.  Permitting delays and
increased costs could result from these final regulations.  The
Partnership further references sections Government Regulation and
Proposed Regulation in
Item 1, Business, for a
detailed discussion of the laws and regulations that effect Partnership
activities.





Environmental hazards
involved in drilling gas and oil wells may result in substantial liabilities for
the Partnership, a decline in profitability of the Partnership and a reduction
in cash distributions to the Investor Partners.  There are
numerous natural hazards involved in the drilling and operation of wells,
including unexpected or unusual formations, pressures, blowouts involving
possible damages to property and third parties, surface damages, personal injury
or loss of life, damage to and loss of equipment, reservoir damage and loss of
reserves.  Uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to
the Partnership, may result in the loss of Partnership properties and may create
liability for additional general partners.  The Partnership may become
subject to liability for pollution, abuses of the environment and other similar
damages, and it is possible that insurance coverage may be insufficient to
protect the Partnership against all potential losses.  In that event,
Partnership assets would be used to pay personal injury and property damage
claims and the costs of controlling blowouts or replacing destroyed equipment
rather than for drilling activities.  These payments would cause an
otherwise profitable partnership to be less profitable or unprofitable and would
result in a reduction of cash distributions to the Investor Partners of the
Partnership.





Delay in Partnership natural
gas or oil production could reduce the Partnership’s profitability and cash
distributions to the Investor Partners.  The Partnership’s
inability to recomplete wells in a timely fashion may result in production
delays.  In addition, marketing demands that tend to be seasonal may
reduce or delay production from wells.  Wells drilled for the
Partnership may have access to only one potential market.  Local
conditions including but not limited to closing businesses, conservation,
shifting population, pipeline maximum operating pressure constraints, and
development of local oversupply or deliverability problems could halt or reduce
sales from Partnership wells.  Any of these delays in the production
and sale of the Partnership's natural gas and oil could reduce the Partnership's
profitability, and in that event, the cash distributions to the Investor
Partners of the Partnership would decline.





A significant variance from
the Partnership’s estimated reserves and future net revenues could adversely
affect the Partnership’s cash flows, results of operations, and the availability
of capital resources.  The accuracy of proved reserves and
future net revenues estimates from such reserves, is a function of the quality
of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data and is
subject to various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC
relating to oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, and other
matters. Although the estimated proved reserves represent reserves the
Partnership reasonably believes it is certain to recover, actual future
production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures,
operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves will most
likely vary from the assumptions and estimates used to determine proved
reserves. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated
quantities and value of the Partnership’s oil and gas reserves, which in turn
could adversely affect cash flows, results of operations and the availability of
capital resources. In addition, estimates of proved reserves may be adjusted to
reflect many factors, many of which are beyond the Partnership’s control,
including production history, results of development, and prevailing oil and
natural gas prices which are volatile and often fluctuate
greatly.  Lower natural gas and oil prices may not only reduce
Partnership revenues, but also may reduce the amount of natural gas and oil that
can be produced economically.  As a result, the Partnership may have
to make substantial additional downward adjustments to its estimated proved
reserves.  If this occurs or if Partnership estimates of production
data factors change, accounting rules may require the Partnership to write-down
operating assets to fair value, as a non-cash charge to earnings.  The
Partnership assesses impairment of capitalized costs of proved natural gas and
oil properties by comparing net capitalized costs to estimated undiscounted
future net cash flows on a field-by-field basis using estimated future
production based upon prices at which the Managing General Partner reasonably
estimates such products may be sold.  The Partnership has recorded no
impairments since its operations commenced in February 2005.  The
Partnership may incur additional impairment charges in the future, which could
have a material adverse effect on the results of Partnership operations and
Partner’s equity.

The standardized measure of
estimated proved reserves, in accordance with SFAS No. 69,Disclosures
About Oil and Gas Producing Activities, which assumes a 10%
discount factor, will not necessarily equal the current fair market value of the
estimated oil and gas reserves. In accordance with the reserve reporting
requirements of the SEC, the estimated discounted future net cash flows from
proved reserves are generally based on prices and costs as of the date of the
estimate. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than
those as of the date of the estimate. The timing of both the production and the
expenses with respect to the development and production of oil and gas
properties will affect the timing of future net cash flows from estimated proved
reserves and their related present value estimate.





Seasonal weather conditions
may adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to conduct production activities
in some of the areas of operation.  Oil and natural gas
operations in the Rocky Mountains are adversely affected by seasonal weather
conditions. In certain areas, drilling and other oil and natural gas activities
are restricted or prevented by weather conditions for up to six months out of
the year. This limits operations in those areas and can intensify competition
during those months for oil field equipment, services, supplies and qualified
personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages. These constraints and the
resulting shortages or high costs could delay operations and materially increase
operating and capital costs and therefore adversely affect profitability, and
could result in a reduction of cash distributions to the Investor
Partners.





Two Colorado lawsuits
against PDC, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, for underpayment
of royalties, could financially harm PDC and the Partnership.  A
judgment by the Federal Court against PDC could result in lower oil and gas
sales revenues for the Partnership, reduced profitability and reduced cash
distributions to the Investor Partners.  On May 29, 2007, a
complaint was filed against PDC in Weld County, Colorado.  The
complaint represented a class action against PDC seeking compensation for
alleged underpayment of royalties on leases in Colorado, resulting from the
alleged miscalculation of costs to produce marketable gas.  The case
was moved to Federal Court in June 2007.  A second similar Colorado
class action suit was filed against PDC on December 3, 2007.  On
January 28, 2008, the Court granted a motion to consolidate the two cases, and
on February 29, 2008, the Court approved a 90 day stay in the proceedings while
the parties pursued mediation of the matter.





The court
approved a stay in proceedings until September 22, 2008 while the parties
pursued mediation of the matter.  Based on the mediation held on May
28, 2008, and subsequent negotiations, $62,798 was accrued by the Partnership
for this litigation for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Although
the Partnership was not named as a party in the suit, the lawsuit states that it
relates to all wells operated by the Managing General Partner, which includes a
majority of the Partnership’s 36 wells in the Wattenberg Field.  On
October 10, 2008, the court issued preliminary approval of the settlement
agreement. The portion of the proposed settlement related to the Partnership’s
wells for all periods through December 31, 2008 is approximately $73,000 which
includes legal fees of approximately $5,000.  In November 2008, the
Managing General Partner paid into an escrow account, on behalf of the
Partnership, amounts due under the settlement.  These amounts will be
deducted from future Partnership distributions.  Notice of the
proposed settlement was mailed to members of the class action suit in fourth
quarter 2008.  Final settlement was approved by the court at a hearing
on April 7, 2009.





Special Risks of an
Investment in the Partnership





The partnership units are
not registered and there is no public market for the units.  As a
result, an individual investor partner may not be able to sell his or her
units.  There is and will be no public market for the units nor
will a public market develop for the units.  Investor Partners may not
be able to sell their Partnership interests or may be able to sell them only for
less than fair market value.  The offer and sale of units have not
been, and will not in the future be, registered under the Securities Act or
under any state securities laws.  Each purchaser of units has been
required to represent that such investor has purchased the units for his or her
own account for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or
distribution.  No transfer of a unit may be made unless the transferee
is an "accredited investor" and such transfer is registered under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption there from is
available.  The Partnership may require that the transferor provide an
opinion of legal counsel stating that the transfer complies with all applicable
securities laws.  A sale or transfer of units by an individual
investor partner requires PDC’s, as Managing General Partner, prior written
consent.  For these and other reasons, an individual investor partner
must anticipate that he or she will have to hold his or her Partnership
interests indefinitely and will not be able to liquidate his or her investment
in the Partnership.  Consequently, an individual investor partner must
be able to bear the economic risk of investing in the Partnership for an
indefinite period of time.

The general partners,
including the Managing General Partner, are individually liable for Partnership
obligations and liabilities that arose prior to conversion to limited partners
that may exceed the amount of their subscriptions, Partnership assets, and the
assets of the Managing General Partner.  Under West Virginia
law, the state in which the Partnership was organized, general partners of a
limited partnership have unlimited liability with respect to the
Partnership.  Therefore, the additional general partners of the
Partnership were liable individually and as a group for all obligations and
liabilities of creditors and claimants, whether arising out of contract or tort,
in the conduct of the Partnership's operations until such time as the additional
general partners converted to limited partners on March 20,
2006.  Upon completion of the drilling phase of the Partnership's
wells, all additional general partners units were converted into units of
limited partner interests and thereafter became limited partners of the
Partnership. Irrespective of conversion, the additional general partners will
remain fully liable for obligations and liabilities that arose prior to
conversion.  Investors as additional general partners may be liable
for amounts in excess of their subscriptions, the assets of the Partnership,
including insurance coverage, and the assets of the Managing General
Partner.





The Managing General Partner
may not have sufficient funds to repurchase limited partnership units.As
a result of PDC, the Managing General Partner, being a general partner in
several partnerships as well as an actively operating corporation, the
Partnership’s net worth is at risk of reduction if PDC suffers a significant
financial loss.  Because the Investor Partners may request the
Managing General Partner to repurchase the units in the Partnership, subject to
certain conditions and restrictions, a significant adverse financial reversal
for PDC could result in the Managing General Partner’s inability to pay for
Partnership obligations or the repurchase of investor units.  As a
result, an individual investor partner may not be able to liquidate his or her
investment in the Partnership.





A significant financial loss
by the Managing General Partner could result in PDC's inability to indemnify
additional general partners for personal losses suffered because of Partnership
liabilities.  As a result of PDC's commitments as managing
general partner of several partnerships and because of the unlimited liability
of a general partner to third parties, PDC's net worth is at risk of reduction
if PDC suffers a significant financial loss.  The partnership
agreement provides that PDC as the Managing General Partner will indemnify all
additional general partners for the amounts of their obligations and losses
which exceed insurance proceeds and the Partnership's assets.  Because
PDC is primarily responsible for the conduct of the Partnership's affairs, as
well as the affairs of other partnerships for which PDC serves as managing
general partner, a significant adverse financial reversal for PDC could result
in PDC's inability to pay for Partnership liabilities and
obligations.  The additional general partners of the Partnership might
be personally liable for payments of the Partnership's liabilities and
obligations.  Therefore, the Managing General Partner's financial
incapacity could increase the risk of personal liability as an additional
general partner because PDC would be unable to indemnify the additional general
partners for any personal losses they suffered arising from Partnership
operations.





A substantial part of our
gas and oil production is located in the Rocky Mountain Region, making it
vulnerable to risks associated with operating in a single major geographic
area.  The Partnership’s operations are focused in the Rocky
Mountain Region and its producing properties are geographically concentrated in
that area.  Because Partnership operations are not geographically
diversified, the success of its operations and profitability may be
disproportionately exposed to the effect of any regional events, including
fluctuations in prices of natural gas and oil produced from the wells in the
region, natural disasters, restrictive governmental regulations, transportation
capacity constraints, curtailment of production or interruption of
transportation, and any resulting delays or interruptions of production from
existing or planned new wells.  During the last four months of 2008,
natural gas prices in the Rocky Mountain Region fell disproportionately when
compared to other markets, due in part to continuing constraints in transporting
gas from producing properties in the region.  Because of the
concentration of Partnership operations in the Rocky Mountain Region, and
although in late 2008 the Partnership entered into a significant multi-year
basis hedge minimizing the price risk of the Partnership’s operational
concentration in the Rocky Mountain region, such price decreases could have a
material adverse effect on Partnership revenue, profitability and cash
flow.

The Managing General
Partner, with respect to its own corporate interests, the Partnership and
various other limited partnerships sponsored by the Managing General Partner,
have been delinquent in filing periodic reports with the
SEC.  Consequently, Investor Partners are unable to review the
delinquent partnerships’ respective financial statements as a source of
information for evaluating their investment in the
Partnership.  PDC, as an actively operating corporation, and
various limited partnerships which PDC has sponsored and for which PDC serves as
the Managing General Partner are subject to reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act and are obligated to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC
in accordance with the rules of the SEC.  In the course of preparing
corporate financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, PDC
identified accounting errors in its prior period financial
statements.  As a result, on October 17, 2005, PDC’s Board of
Directors, Audit Committee and management concluded that PDC’s previously issued
financial statements could not be relied upon and would be
restated.  PDC, as Managing General Partner, made similar
determinations regarding the financial statements of certain of the limited
partnerships which are subject to the Exchange Act reporting
obligations.





Since
October 2005, PDC has become compliant with its corporate Exchange Act filing
and reporting obligations.  Additionally, Rockies Region 2007 Limited
Partnership, Rockies Region 2006 Limited Partnership, and PDC 2005-A Limited
Partnership (with this filing) will have completed all required SEC filings
through December 31, 2008.  PDC 2005-B Limited Partnership and Rockies
Region Private Limited Partnership have filed financial statements through
December 31, 2007, however, these two partnerships are still delinquent with
respect to their 2008 filing requirements.  PDC 2005-B Limited
Partnership and Rockies Region Private Limited Partnership are currently in the
process of preparing their 2008 10-K filings which will include unaudited
quarterly condensed financial statements for 2008. PDC 2004-A Limited
Partnership has filed financial statements through December 31, 2005 but is
delinquent on all quarterly and annual filing requirements from March 31, 2006
through December 31, 2008.  All remaining limited partnerships
sponsored by PDC which are subject to the Exchange Act have been, and continue
to be, delinquent in filing their respective periodic reports in accordance with
the requirements of the Exchange Act.  Until these partnerships file
their delinquent periodic reports, investors will be unable to review the
financial statements of the various limited partnerships as an additional source
of information they can use in their evaluation of their investment in the
Partnership.  Currently the Managing General Partner has in place a
compliance effort addressing the delinquent reports of the various limited
partnerships.  However, due to the amount of effort, time and
financial resources required to bring the limited partnerships into compliance
with Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements, the Partnership and the
various limited partnerships may be unable to bring their delinquent reports
current and may be unable in the future to file their required periodic reports
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner.





"A material weakness"
identified in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting and
resulting ineffective disclosure controls and procedures could have a material
adverse effect on the reliability of Partnership financial statements, its
ability to file Partnership public reports on time and provide for accurate and
timely Investor Partner distributions.





Management
of the Managing General Partner assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 and pursuant
to this assessment, identified a material weakness in the Partnership’s internal
control over financial reporting. The existence of any material weakness means
there is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Partnership’s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material
weakness relates to the Partnership’s failure to maintain sufficient
documentation to adequately assess the operating effectiveness of internal
control over reporting for the transactions that are directly related to and
processed by the Partnership.  For a more detailed discussion of the
Partnership’s material weakness, see Item 9A(T), Controls and Procedures, of
this report. As a result of this material weakness, management of the Managing
General Partner concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008.

Failure
by the Partnership to maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting and/or effective disclosure controls and procedures could prevent the
Partnership from being able to prevent fraud and/or provide reliable financial
statements and other public reports or make timely and accurate Investor Partner
distributions. Such circumstances could harm the Partnership’s business and
operating results, cause Investor Partners to lose confidence in the accuracy
and completeness of the Partnership’s financial statements and reports, and have
a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s ability to fully develop and
utilize Partnership assets. These failures may also adversely affect the
Partnership’s ability to file our periodic reports with the SEC on
time.

Item 2.
            Properties





The
Partnership’s properties (the “Properties”) consist of working interests in gas
wells and the ownership in leasehold acreage in the spacing units for the 49
wells drilled by the Partnership.  The acreage associated with the
spacing units is designated by state rules and regulations in conjunction with
local practice.  See the sections titled Item 1, Business−Drilling ActivitiesandPlan of
Operations for additional information on the Partnership’s
properties.





The
Partnership commenced drilling activities immediately following funding on
February 9, 2005 (date of inception).  As of December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively, a total of 49 gross productive development wells (43.4 net)
had been drilled.  A development well is a well that is drilled close
to and into the same formation as a well which has already produced and sold oil
or natural gas.  Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells
capable of producing oil and natural gas in commercial
quantities.  Gross wells refer to the number of wells in which the
Partnership has an interest.  Net wells refer to gross wells
multiplied by the percentage working interest owned by the
Partnership.  The 49 wells are the only wells to be drilled by the
Partnership since the majority of the funds raised in the Partnership offering
have been utilized.  With regard to the Partnership’s developmental
wells drilled in Colorado, 36 wells were drilled to the Codell formation in the
Wattenberg Field and the 13 remaining wells were drilled in the Grand Valley
Field.  The details of these prospect areas are further outlined
below.





Colorado.  Wattenberg
Field, located north and east of Denver, Colorado, is in the Denver-Julesburg
(DJ) Basin.  The typical well production profile has an initial high
production rate and relatively rapid decline, followed by years of relatively
shallow decline.  Natural gas is the primary hydrocarbon produced;
however, many wells will also produce oil.  The purchase price for the
natural gas may include revenue from the recovery of propane and butane in the
gas stream, as well as a premium for the typical high-energy content of the
natural gas.  Wells in the area may include as many as four productive
formations.  From shallowest to deepest, these are the Sussex, the
Niobrara, the Codell and the J Sand.  The primary producing zone in
most wells is the Codell sand which produces a combination of natural gas and
oil.





The Grand
Valley Field is in the Piceance Basin, located near the western border of
Colorado.  Wells in the Piceance Basin generally produce natural gas
along with small quantities of oil.  The producing interval consists
of a total of 150 to 300 feet of productive sandstone divided in 10 to 15
different zones.  The production zones are separated by layers of
nonproductive shale resulting in a total interval of 2,000 to 4,000 feet with
alternating producing and non-producing zones.  The natural gas
reserves and production are divided into these numerous smaller
zones.





Production





Production
commenced during the second quarter of 2005, peaked during the first quarter of
2006, and has continued to decrease as anticipated.  A complete
disclosure of quarterly production volumes, prices and sales is presented in
Item 7, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in this report.

Oil and Natural Gas
Reserves





All of
the Partnership’s gas and oil reserves are located in the United
States.  The Partnership utilized the services of an independent
petroleum engineer, Ryder Scott Company, L.P., for its 2008 and 2007 reserve
reports.  The independent engineer’s estimates are made using
available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data.
The estimates are prepared with respect to reserve categorization, using the
definitions for proved reserves set forth in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)
and subsequent SEC staff interpretations and guidance. When preparing the
Partnership's reserve estimates, the independent engineer did not independently
verify the accuracy and completeness of information and data furnished by the
Managing General Partner with respect to ownership interests, oil and gas
production, well test data, historical costs of operations and developments,
product prices, or any agreements relating to current and future operations of
properties and sales of production.  The Partnership's independent
reserve estimates are reviewed and approved by the Managing General Partner's
internal engineering staff and management.  See Supplemental Oil and
Gas Information – Unaudited, Net Proved Oil and Gas
Reserves for additional information regarding the Partnership’s
reserves.





Title to
Properties





The
Partnership holds record title in its name to the working interest in each
well.  PDC provides an assignment of working interest for the well
bore prior to the spudding of the well and effective the date of the spudding of
the well, to the Partnership in accordance with the Drilling and Operation
Agreement.  Upon completion of the drilling of all of the Partnership
wells, these assignments are recorded in the applicable
county.  Investor Partners rely on PDC to use its best judgment to
obtain appropriate title to these working interests.  Provisions of
the Agreement relieve PDC from any error in judgment with respect to the waiver
of title defects.  PDC takes those steps it deems necessary to assure
that title to the working interests is acceptable for purposes of the
Partnership.





The
Partnership's leases are direct interests in producing acreage.  The
Partnership believes it holds good and defensible title to its developed
properties, in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and
natural gas industry. As is customary in the industry, a perfunctory title
examination is conducted at the time the undeveloped properties are
acquired.  Prior to the commencement of drilling operations, a title
examination is conducted and curative work is performed with respect to
discovered defects which are deemed to be significant. Title examinations have
been performed with respect to substantially all of the Partnership's producing
properties.





The
Partnership’s properties are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other
outstanding interests customary to the industry.  The properties may
also be subject to additional burdens, liens or encumbrances customary to the
industry.  We do not believe that any of these burdens will materially
interfere with the use of the properties.

Item 5.
            Market
      for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer
      Purchases of Equity Securities





At March
31, 2009, the Partnership had 1,513 Investor Partners holding 1,996.87 units and
one Managing General Partner.  The investments held by the Investor
Partners are in the form of limited partnership interests.  Investor
Partners' interests are transferable; however, no assignee of units in the
Partnership can become a substituted partner without the written consent of the
Managing General Partner.  As of March 31, 2009, the Managing General
Partner has repurchased 18 units of Partnership interests from Investor
Partners.





Market.  There is
no public market for the Partnership units nor will a public market develop for
these units in the future.  Investor Partners may not be able to sell
their Partnership interests or may be able to sell them only for less than fair
market value.  No transfer of a unit may be made unless the transferee
satisfies any relevant suitability requirements as imposed by law or the
Partnership.  The Partnership may require that the transferor provide
an opinion of legal counsel stating that the transfer complies with all
applicable securities laws.  A sale or transfer of units by an
individual Investor Partner requires PDC’s, as Managing General Partner, prior
written consent.  For these and other reasons, an individual Investor
Partner must anticipate that he or she will have to hold his or her partnership
interests indefinitely and will not be able to liquidate his or her investment
in the Partnership.  Consequently, an individual Investor Partner must
be able to bear the economic risk of investing in the Partnership for an
indefinite period of time.





Cash Distribution Policy.  PDC plans to
make distributions of Partnership cash on a monthly basis, but no less often
than quarterly, if funds are available for distribution.  PDC will
make cash distributions of 80% to the Investor Partners, adjusted for any units
purchased by the Managing General Partner, and 20% to the Managing General
Partner throughout the term of the Partnership.





PDC
cannot presently predict amounts of cash distributions, if any, from the
Partnership.  However, PDC expressly conditions any distribution upon
its having sufficient cash available for distribution.  Sufficient
cash available for distribution is defined to generally mean cash generated by
the Partnership in excess of the amount the Managing General Partner determines
is necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of the Partnership's
business, to comply with applicable law, to comply with any debt instruments or
other agreements or to provide for future distributions to unit
holders.  In this regard, PDC reviews the accounts of the Partnership
at least quarterly for the purpose of determining the sufficiency of
distributable cash available for distribution.  Amounts will be paid
to Investor Partners only after payment of fees and expenses to the Managing
General Partner and its affiliates and only if there is sufficient cash
available.  The ability of the Partnership to make or sustain cash
distributions depends upon numerous factors.  PDC can give no
assurance that any level of cash distributions to the Investor Partners of the
Partnership will be attained, that cash distributions will equal or approximate
cash distributions made to investor partners of prior drilling programs
sponsored by PDC, or that any level of cash distributions can be
maintained.  The Partnership made cash distributions of $5,964,174 and
$7,336,048 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.





The
volume of production from producing properties declines with the passage of
time.  The cash flow generated by the Partnership's activities and the
amounts available for distribution to the Partnership's Investor Partners will,
therefore, decline in the absence of significant increases in the prices that
the Partnership receives for its oil and natural gas production, or significant
increases in the production of oil and natural gas from the successful
additional development of these prospects.  If the Partnership decides
to develop its wells further, the funds necessary for that development would
come from the Partnership's revenues and/or from borrowed funds.  As a
result, there may be a decrease in the funds available for distribution, and the
distributions to the Investor Partners may decrease.





PDC
divides cash distributions 80% to the Investor Partners and 20% to PDC
throughout the term of the Partnership adjusted for units repurchased by
PDC.  Cash is distributed to the Investor Partners and PDC, in the
same proportion as their interest in the net income of the
Partnership.  However, no individual investor partner will receive
distributions to the extent the distributions would create or increase a deficit
in that investor partner's capital account.





- 22
-
 Index




PDC, as
Managing General Partner, developed the Partnership's interests in its
properties only with the proceeds of subscriptions and PDC's capital
contributions.  However, these funds may not be sufficient to fund all
future well costs, and it may be necessary for the Partnership to retain
Partnership revenues for the payment of these costs, or for PDC to advance the
necessary funds to the Partnership or for the Partnership to borrow necessary
funds.  It is likely that the Partnership's Wattenberg Field, Colorado
wells will benefit from recompletion services, generally in five years or longer
following initial drilling of those wells.  Recompletion is the
process of going into an existing zone which is already producing for a
“refrac,” or refracture operation to go into a new zone at a different depth,
all with the objective of increasing the production of oil or natural
gas.  If PDC retains Partnership revenues for the payment of these
recompletion or “refrac” costs, the amount of Partnership funds available for
distribution to the Investor Partners of the Partnership will decrease
correspondingly.  Development work will not include the drilling of
any new wells beyond the initial wells that have been drilled.  PDC
may retain payment for the recompletion or “refrac” work from Partnership
proceeds, by preparing an Authority for Expenditure, or AFE, estimate for the
Partnership in either of the two methods:





·
            PDC
      will complete the development work and will bill the Partnership for the
      work performed and will be reimbursed from future production;
      or





·
            The
      Partnership will retain revenues from operations until it has accumulated
      or borrowed sufficient funds to pay for the development work, at which
      time PDC will commence the work, and PDC will be reimbursed as the work
      progresses from retained revenues.





Should
the Partnership’s revenues be retained for the payment of recompletion or
“refrac” costs, the determination of which option to use will be at PDC's
discretion, based on the amount of the anticipated expenditure and the urgency
of the necessary work.





The
Agreement also permits the Partnership to borrow funds on behalf of the
Partnership for Partnership activities. The Partnership may borrow needed funds
from the Managing General Partner or affiliates of the Managing General Partner
or from unaffiliated persons.  On loans or advances made available to
the Partnership by the Managing General Partner or affiliates of the Managing
General Partner, the Managing General Partner or affiliate may not receive
interest in excess of its interest costs, nor may the Managing General Partner
or affiliate receive interest in excess of the amounts which would be charged
the Partnership (without reference to the Managing General Partner's financial
abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on comparable loans for the same
purpose.  The Managing General Partner anticipates that borrowed funds
will be utilized to finance Codell recompletion activities (see Item 1, Business).  As the
Partnership will have to pay interest on borrowed funds, the amount of
Partnership funds available for distribution to the partners of the Partnership
will be reduced accordingly.





Unit Repurchase
Program.Beginning with the third anniversary of the date of
the first cash distribution of the Partnership, Investor Partners of the
Partnership may request the Managing General Partner to repurchase their units.
The Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to Investor Partners in
September 2005. If requested by individual investor partners, the Managing
General Partner is obligated to purchase in any calendar year units which
aggregate up to 10% of the initial subscriptions. Repurchase of units is subject
to PDC’s financial ability to purchase the units. The purchase price will not be
less than four times the most recent twelve months’ cash distributions from
production of the Partnership.  There were no repurchases in September
2008, the first month unit repurchases were eligible under the
program.  Fourth quarter 2008 repurchases were made in December 2008
when 2.5 units were repurchased at an average price of $8,938 per
unit.  First quarter 2009 repurchases were made in February 2009, when
4 units were repurchased at an average price of $9,285 per unit and in March
2009, when 3.25 units were purchased at an average price of $9,368 per
unit.





In
addition to the above repurchase program, individual investor partners
periodically offer and PDC repurchases, units on a negotiated basis before the
third anniversary of the date of the first cash distribution.  There
were no unit purchases in 2007.  First quarter 2008 unit repurchases
were made in January when the Managing General Partner repurchased three units
at an average price of $10,000 per unit and February when it repurchased two
units at an average price of $8,700 per unit. During second quarter 2008, 0.75
units were repurchased in April 2008 at an average price of $8,980 per
unit.  Third quarter 2008 repurchases included 1.25 units repurchased
in July at an average price of $15,908 per unit and 0.25 units repurchased in
August at an average price of $8,160 per unit.

The
following discussion and analysis, as well as other sections in this Form 10-K,
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s accompanying financial
statements and related notes to financial statements included in this
report.  Further, the Partnership encourages you to revisit Special Note Regarding

Overview





The
Partnership was funded on February 9, 2005 (date of inception) with initial
contributions of $39.9 million from the Investor Partners and a cash
contribution of $8.8 million from the Managing General Partner.  After
payment of syndication costs of $4 million and a one-time management fee to PDC
of $0.6 million, the Partnership had available cash of $44.1 million to commence
Partnership oil and natural gas well drilling activities.





The
Partnership began exploration and development activities immediately after
funding.  The full amount of the funding was paid to PDC to begin the
drilling of oil and natural gas wells, on behalf of the Partnership under the
Drilling and Operating Agreement.  The payment to PDC was made as an
advance of exploration and development costs for oil and natural gas
properties.  On February 9, 2005, PDC commenced drilling on behalf of
the Partnership.  As of December 31, 2008, a total of 49 wells have
been drilled in Colorado.  Of the 49 wells drilled, all are
producing.  These 49 wells are the only wells the Partnership will
drill because the majority of the capital contributions have been
utilized.  The completed wells produce primarily natural gas, with
some associated crude oil.  Sales of produced natural gas and oil
commenced during the second quarter of 2005 as wells were connected to
pipelines.  Production and sales increased through the first quarter
of 2006 as additional wells were completed and connected to
pipelines.  As expected for wells in this area, the Partnership has
recognized a steady decline in quarterly production and net
sales.  The Partnership’s wells will produce until they are depleted
or until they are uneconomical to produce; however, it is the plan of the
Partnership and the Managing General Partner to recomplete the Codell formation
in certain wells in the Wattenberg Field after five or more years of production
because these wells will have experienced a significant decline in production in
that time period.  However, the exact timing of recompletion may be
delayed or accelerated due to changing commodity prices.  Codell
recompletions typically increase production rates and recoverable
reserves.  Although PDC has experienced significant production
increases following prior Codell recompletions, not all such recompletions have
been successful.





2008
Overview





The year
2008 was a year of significant events: oil and natural gas prices reached to
record and near record highs, respectively, through July; then, in the midst of
U.S. credit turmoil and a worldwide economic slump, in December, oil prices fell
to their lowest in four years and natural gas prices dropped almost by
half.  The Managing General Partner’s reaction to these events is one
of caution.  While the Partnership certainly felt the impact of these
events, the Managing General Partner believes the Partnership was successful in
managing its operations in such a manner that the Partnership was able to
minimize the negative impacts while capitalizing on the positive
impacts.  The Partnership’s derivative position eased the impact of
the fall in oil and natural gas prices.  The Partnership exited 2008
with $0.2 million in net realized derivative gains, $0.7 million in the fourth
quarter alone.  Further, the Partnership estimates the net fair value
of its derivative positions as of December 31, 2008, to be $2.7
million.





The
decline in prices during the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted in $2.8 million in
unrealized gains on derivatives for the year ended December 31,
2008.  The $2.8 million in unrealized gains for the year is the fair
value of the derivative positions as of December 31, 2008, less the related
unrealized amounts recorded in prior periods.  An unrealized gain is a
non-cash item and there will be further gains or losses as prices decrease or
increase until the positions mature or are closed.

The
required accounting treatment for derivatives that do not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 may result in significant swings in
operating results over the life of the derivatives.  The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 are an example of this,
since they were significantly impacted by record high oil and gas prices that
benefited the Partnership cash flows from operating activities through oil and
gas sales of $2.6 million, but also resulted in significant unrealized oil and
gas price risk management losses of $1.9 million that were the primary factor in
the Partnership’s net loss from operations for the quarter of $1.2
million.  Dramatic price declines during the third quarter 2008 to
levels below those at December 31, 2007, however, reduced Partnership oil and
natural gas sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.2 million,
but benefitted the Partnership in terms of significant unrealized oil and gas
price risk management gains of $3.8 million which was again, the primary factor
in the Partnership’s net income from operations of $4.7 million that mitigated
the negative income impact of commodity price declines.  See Oil and gas price risk management
gain (loss), net discussion below for a detailed discussion of realized
and unrealized gains and losses on oil and gas derivative
activity.  The combination of the settled derivative contracts and the
revenue received from the oil and gas sales at delivery are expected to result
in a more predictable cash flow stream and Partnership distributions than would
the sales contracts without the associated derivatives.

The
commodity price declines from June 30, 2008, through December 31, 2008, relative
to the Partnership’s current derivative positions, resulted in the significant
unrealized derivative gains in 2008.  If there are further price
declines in 2009, unrealized derivatives gains on our current positions are
expected to continue.

_______________


(1)
            Production
      is net and determined by multiplying the gross production volume of
      properties in which we have an interest by the percentage of the leasehold
      or other property interest we own.

(2)
            A
      ratio of energy content of natural gas and oil (six Mcf of natural gas
      equals one Bbl of oil) was used to obtain a conversion factor to convert
      oil production into equivalent Mcf of natural
  gas.


(3)
            The
      Partnership utilizes commodity based derivative instruments to manage a
      portion of our exposure to price volatility of our natural gas and oil
      sales.  This amount excludes realized and unrealized gains and
      losses on commodity based derivative
  instruments.


(4)
            Production
      costs represent oil and gas operating expenses which include production
      taxes.

The 7%
decrease in total sales in 2008 as compared to 2007 was due to decreased total
production volumes, in Mcfe or energy equivalency basis, of 32% partially offset
by an increase in average sales price per Mcfe of 36%.





Decreased
volumes contributed to a reduction in sales of $2.6 million partially offset by
commodity price increases which amounted to $2.0 million, resulting in an
overall $0.6 million decrease in oil and natural gas sales in 2008 as compared
to 2007.  This change in production volumes is consistent with the
historically declining production curves for wells drilled in the Wattenberg and
Piceance fields.  The year-to-year decrease in both oil and natural
gas revenues of 5% and 8%, respectively, reflects the historically steeper
decline in oil production volumes during the earlier portions of the production
life cycle as compared to natural gas that was offset, however, by a more
substantial increase in oil prices (56%) than natural gas prices (31%) during
the period.

 Index




On a
quarterly basis, decreased volumes during the quarter ended December 31, 2008,
as compared to the same period in 2007, contributed to a reduction in sales of
$0.1 million and reduced revenues due to commodity price decreases of $0.6
million, resulting in the total $0.7 million decrease in oil and natural gas
sales.  The Partnership experienced a minor curtailment of producing
volumes of natural gas in the Piceance Basin due to limited compression and
pipeline capacity in the fourth quarter of 2008.





Decreased
volumes during the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September
30, 2008 contributed to a reduction in sales of $1.4 million, $0.6 million and
$0.4 million, respectively, offset by commodity prices increases amounting to
$0.5 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, resulting in
decreased oil and natural gas sales of $0.9 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2008, and increased oil and natural gas sales of $0.5 million and $0.5
million for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008,
respectively, as compared to the same quarterly periods in 2007.





The
Partnership expects to experience continued declines in both oil and natural gas
production volumes over the wells’ life cycles until the Wattenberg wells are
recompleted.





Oil and Natural Gas
Pricing





Financial
results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of oil and natural gas
and our ability to market our production effectively.  Oil and natural
gas prices have been among the most volatile of all commodity
prices.  These price variations have a material impact on our
financial results.  Oil and natural gas prices also vary by region and
locality, depending upon the distance to markets, and the supply and demand
relationships in that region or locality.  This can be especially true
in the Rocky Mountain Region in which all of the Partnership wells are
located.  The combination of increased drilling activity and the lack
of local markets have resulted in a local market oversupply situation from time
to time.  Such a situation existed in the Rocky Mountain Region during
2007, with production exceeding the local market demand and pipeline capacity to
non-local markets.  The result, beginning in the second quarter of
2007 and continuing through and into the fourth quarter of 2007, was a decrease
in the price of Rocky Mountain natural gas, as measured by the Colorado
Interstate Gas, or CIG, Index (per MMbtu) compared to the New York Mercantile
Exchange, or NYMEX, price (per MMbtu).





The
expansion in January 2008 of the Rockies Express pipeline (“REX”), a major
interstate pipeline constructed and operated by a non-affiliated entity,
resulted in a narrowing of the NYMEX and price differential to under a $1.00
between the indices’ average prices in January and February
2008.  However, a substantial portion of the new capacity created by
the REX Pipeline is now under contract resulting in a resumption of regional
transportation capacity restraints and a widening of the NYMEX-CIG differential
that peaked in June and September at average index price differentials of $4.58
and $4.00, respectively.  Index differentials closed 2008 having again
narrowed to $1.30, and are expected to average $1.74 for the next 24 months
(forward curve) based on index futures.  Like most producers in the
region, the Partnership relies on major interstate pipeline companies to
construct these facilities to increase pipeline capacity, rendering the timing
and availability of these facilities beyond our control.  In view of
the regional transportation capacity issues cited herein regarding Rocky
Mountain region production, the Partnership believes that the cited capacity
constraints will continue into the future and that the sale of production in the
Rocky Mountain Region will continue to be governed by price.  To that
end, the Partnership has been able to sell all of its production to date, has
not had to significantly curtail its production for long periods of time because
of an inability to sell its production because of pipeline unavailability and
believes that it will be able to sell all of its future production.





Oil
pricing is also driven strongly by supply and demand
relationships.  In the Rocky Mountain Region for 2008, Partnership oil
sales averaged $88.85 per barrel which is below the NYMEX oil market 12-month
average monthly closing prices (per Barrel) for 2008 of $104.42, due to supply
competition from other Rocky Mountain oil and Canadian oil that has driven down
market prices.





The price
the Partnership receives for a large portion of the natural gas produced in the
Rocky Mountain Region is based on a market basket of prices, which may include
some natural gas sold at the CIG prices and some sold at mid-continent
prices.  The CIG Index, and other indices for production delivered to
other Rocky Mountain pipelines, has historically been less than the price
received for natural gas produced in the eastern regions, which is NYMEX
based.

During
2009, oil and natural gas prices have continued to fluctuate, with oil prices on
NYMEX (per Barrel) as high as $54.34 on March 26, 2009 and as low as $33.98 on
February 12, 2009 and natural gas prices (per MMbtu) on CIG as high as $4.59 on
January 7, 2009 and as low as $1.325 on April 14, 2009.





Oil and Gas Price Risk
Management Gain (Loss), Net





The
Managing General Partner uses oil and natural gas commodity derivative
instruments to jointly manage price risk for its corporate interests as well as
sponsored drilling partnerships, including the Partnership, by area of
operation.  Prior to September 30, 2008, as production volumes
changed, the allocation of derivative positions between PDC’s corporate
interests and each of the sponsored drilling partnerships changed.  As
of September 30, 2008, the allocation of derivative positions was fixed, based
on the current estimated future production, between the Managing General
Partner's corporate interests and each sponsored drilling partnership. For
positions entered into subsequent to September 30, 2008, specific designations
of the quantities between the Managing General Partner's corporate interests and
each sponsored drilling partnership, including the Partnership, are allocated
and fixed at the time the positions are entered into based on estimated future
production.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from
derivative positions are reported on the statement of operations as “Oil and gas
price risk management gain (loss), net.”  The net gains/losses are
comprised of the change in fair value of derivative positions related to the
Partnership’s production and underlying derivative contracts entered into by the
Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership.





In
periods of rising prices, the Partnership will generally record losses on its
derivative positions as fair values exceed contract prices determining the
Partnership’s oil and natural gas sales.  Conversely, in periods of
decreasing prices, the Partnership will generally recognize gains on its
derivative positions.  During 2008, the Partnership experienced
extreme volatility in oil and gas prices that resulted in extreme fluctuation in
both realized and unrealized derivative positions.

“Oil and
gas price risk management gain (loss), net” includes realized gains and losses
and unrealized changes in the fair value of oil and natural gas derivatives
related to Partnership oil and natural gas production.  See Note 4,
Derivative Financial
Instruments and Note 5, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, to the accompanying financial statements for additional
details of the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments.

For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership recorded realized gains of $0.2
million and unrealized gains of $2.8 million, resulting in a net $3.0 million
gain for the year.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, prices
increased and remained above December 31, 2007 prices resulting in a realized
loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized loss of $0.5 million for a total loss of
$0.6 million.  The CIG-index monthly average of daily natural gas
prices (per MMbtu) and oil prices on NYMEX (per barrel) in the second quarter
2008 remained above December 31, 2007 levels, resulting in the $0.5 million
realized and $1.9 million unrealized losses for that period. Although Rockies
Region oil and natural gas prices increased during the first seven months of
2008, the Partnership experienced significant commodity price declines during
the last five months of 2008, relative to the Partnership’s current derivative
positions, which resulted in significant unrealized derivative gains for the
year and for the quarters ended September 30 and December 31.  Monthly
averages of daily natural gas prices for the months August through December
declined in August to $5.45 and retrenched further to a low during October of
$2.90.  Oil prices experienced a steep decline from a July 2008 high
of $145.29 to $44.60 at December 31, 2008.  This pricing pattern in
the Rockies Region for oil and natural gas resulted in the Partnership’s third
quarter realized and unrealized gains of $0.1 million and $3.8 million,
respectively, and fourth quarter realized and unrealized gains of $0.7 million
and $1.5 million, respectively.  When forward prices for oil and
natural gas decrease as they did throughout the last five months of 2008, the
Partnership’s derivative positions, which include floors, ceilings and swaps,
tend to increase in value, resulting in unrealized gain positions.





In 2007,
the Partnership incurred a realized gain of $0.4 million and an unrealized loss
of $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.7 million net loss for the
year.  The majority of the unrealized losses recognized for 2007 and
for the quarters ended March 31 and December 31, respectively, were due to
increasing natural gas prices.  The decline in the CIG market during
the second and third quarters of 2007, which fell to a low of $1.05 for the
September average of natural gas daily prices (per MMbtu), resulted in the
realized gain during 2007.  When forward prices for oil and natural
gas prices increase as they did in 2007, the Partnership’s derivative portfolio
tends to decrease in value, resulting in unrealized loss
positions.  Due to the continued volatility of commodity prices, large
quarter to quarter fluctuations in “Oil and gas price risk management gain
(loss), net,” occur.





Oil and Gas Derivative
Activities.The Managing General Partner uses various
derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in oil and natural gas
prices.  The Managing General Partner has in place a series of
collars, fixed price swaps and basis swaps on a portion of the Partnership’s oil
and natural gas production.  Under the collar arrangements, if the
applicable index rises above the ceiling price or swap, the Managing General
Partner pays the counterparty; however, if the index drops below the floor or
swap, the counterparty pays the Managing General Partner.

As
production declines as per the historical decline curve, fixed costs increase as
a percentage of total costs.  This results in production costs per
unit to rise.  As production continues to decline, production costs
per unit can be expected to increase.





Generally,
production and operating costs vary either with total oil and natural gas sales
or production volumes.  Property and severance taxes are estimates by
the Managing General Partner based on rates determined using historical
information.  These amounts are subject to revision based on actual
amounts determined during future filings by the Managing General Partner with
the taxing authorities.  Property and severance taxes vary directly
with total oil and natural gas sales.  Transportation costs vary
directly with production volumes.  Fixed monthly well operating costs
increase on a per unit basis as production decreases per the historical decline
curve.  General oil field services and all other costs vary and can
fluctuate based on services required.  These costs include water
hauling and disposal, equipment repairs and maintenance, snow removal and
service rig workovers.  In addition, general oil field service costs
have experienced significant inflationary increases.

 Index




Although
2008 production and operating costs remained steady at $1.9 million as compared
to the previous year, the annual per Mcfe basis increase is primarily due to a
32% decrease in production and an increase in the cost of general oil field
services.





Direct Costs – General and
Administrative





Direct
costs – general and administrative consist primarily of professional fees for
financial statement audits, income tax return preparation and legal
matters.  Direct costs increased during 2008 by $0.3 million primarily
due to billings from the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting
firms, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") and KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”) for
professional services rendered by PwC and KPMG for the audit of the
Partnership’s financial statements in its comprehensive Annual Report on Form
10-K for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (PwC) and the period from
February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005 (KPMG) which was filed
with the SEC in February 2009.  Additional direct costs in the amount
of approximately $10,000 were recorded in 2008 due to a royalty litigation
settlement.  For additional information regarding the settlement, see
Note 9, Commitments and
Contingencies to the accompanying financial statement included in this
report.

DD&A
expense is primarily based upon year-end proved developed producing oil and gas
reserves. These reserves are valued at the price of oil and natural gas as of
December 31 each year.  If prices increase, the corresponding volume
of oil and natural gas reserves will increase, resulting in decreases in the
rate of DD&A per unit of production.  If year-end prices decrease
as they did from 2007 to 2008, volumes of oil and natural gas reserves will
decline, resulting in increases in the rate of DD&A per unit of
production.





The $0.9
million decrease in DD&A for the year 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily the
result of a production level decrease of 32% offset by an increase per Mcfe due
to significantly lower reserves at December 31, 2008.  In the fourth
quarter of 2008 and 2007, the DD&A unit cost per Mcfe increased due to
revised estimates of reserves from the annual reserve reports which indicated
decreases in reserves from the respective prior period.  While both
production and overall year-end reserves are expected to decline gradually
year-to-year over the wells’ remaining life cycles, downward revisions to oil
and natural gas reserves in the annual 2008 reserve report resulted in the
larger DD&A unit cost increase during the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared
to the fourth quarter 2007.





The
variances in the per Mcfe rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30,
2008 and September 30, 2008 from the quarter ended December 31, 2007 are
primarily the result of the changing production mix between the Partnership’s
Wattenberg and Grand Valley fields  which have significantly different
DD&A rates.

Interest
Income





Interest
income decreased in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to the lower level of
undistributed revenues held by the Managing General Partner during the year
ended December 31, 2008, as well as a reduction in the interest rates applied to
those undistributed revenue amounts.  Additionally, interest rates
decreased on amounts held in escrow by the Managing General Partner on behalf of
the Partnership related to production tax obligation over-withholding during the
years prior to 2007.  For more information on the production tax
obligation over-withholding by the Managing General Partner, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies−Due from (to) Managing General Partner−Other.





Liquidity and Capital
Resources





As the
Partnership has completed its drilling activities as of December 31, 2008, the
Partnership’s operations are expected to be conducted with available funds and
revenues generated from oil and natural gas production activities, with the
possible exception of recompletions and “refracs.”  It may be
necessary for the Partnership to retain Partnership revenues for the payment of
these costs, or for PDC to advance the necessary funds to the Partnership or for
the Partnership to borrow necessary funds.  The Managing General
Partner anticipates that borrowed funds will be utilized to finance Codell
recompletion activities (see Item 1, Business).  As the
Partnership will have to repay the borrowed funds plus interest, the amount of
Partnership funds available for distribution to the partners of the Partnership
will be reduced accordingly.





The
Partnership’s liquidity may be impacted by fluctuating oil and natural gas
prices, as noted in Item 1A, Risk
Factors.  Changes in market prices for oil and natural gas
directly affect the level of cash flow from operations.  While a
decline in oil and natural gas prices would affect the amount of cash flow that
would be generated from operations, the Partnership had oil and natural gas
derivatives in place, as of December 31, 2008, covering 90% of the Partnership’s
expected oil production and 76% of its expected natural gas production for
2009.  These contracts reduce the impact of price changes for a
substantial portion of the Partnership’s 2009 cash from
operations.  Additional derivative positions were entered into during
2008 for natural gas production through March 2011 and oil production through
December 2010 while natural gas price basis swaps cover production through
December 2013.  The current derivatives positions will change based on
changes in oil and natural gas futures markets.  Oil and natural gas
derivatives as of December 31, 2008, are detailed in Note 4, Derivative Financial
Instruments to the accompanying financial statements.

Operating
Cash Flows





Net cash
provided by operating activities was $6.0 million in 2008 compared to $7.1
million in 2007, a decrease of $1.1 million.  The decrease in cash
provided by operating activities was due primarily to the
following:





·
            A
      decrease in oil and gas sales revenues of 7% and a $0.2 million decrease
      in realized oil and gas price risk management gain (loss), net which was
      accompanied by an increase in direct costs – general and administrative of
      $0.3 million.





·
            Decrease
      in the “Due from (to) Managing General Partner,
  net.”

Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates





The
Managing General Partner has identified the following accounting policies as
critical to the understanding of the results of the operations of the
Partnership.  This is not a comprehensive list of all of the
Partnership’s accounting policies.  In many cases, the accounting
treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for
management's judgment in their application.  There are also areas in
which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not
produce a materially different result. However, certain accounting policies are
important to the portrayal of the Partnership's financial condition and results
of operations and require management's most subjective or complex judgments, and
as a result, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  In
applying those policies, management uses its judgment to determine the
appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain
estimates.  Those estimates are based on historical experience,
observance of trends in the industry, and information available from other
outside sources, as appropriate.  For a more detailed discussion on
the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies in the accompanying financial statements.  The
Partnership's critical accounting policies and estimates are as
follows:





Oil
and Gas Properties





The
Partnership accounts for its oil and natural gas properties under the successful
efforts method of accounting.  Costs of proved developed producing
properties, successful exploratory wells and development dry hole costs are
depreciated or depleted by the unit-of-production method based on estimated
proved developed oil and natural gas reserves.  Property acquisition
costs are depreciated or depleted on the unit-of-production method based on
estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves.





Our
estimates of proved reserves are based on quantities of oil and gas that
engineering and geological analysis demonstrates, with reasonable certainty, to
be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating
and economic conditions. Annually, we engage independent petroleum engineers to
prepare a reserve and economic evaluation of all our properties on a
well-by-well basis as of December 31.





Proved
reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas that geologic and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Estimates of proved reserves may change, either positively or
negatively, as additional information becomes available and as contractual,
economic and political conditions change. The Partnership’s net proved reserve
estimates have been adjusted as necessary to reflect all contractual agreements,
royalty obligations and interests owned by others at the time of the
estimate.





Proved
developed reserves are the quantities of oil and natural gas expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from new
wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major
expenditure is required for completion.  In some cases, proved
undeveloped reserves may require substantial new investments in additional wells
and related facilities.





The
process of estimating and evaluating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring
significant decisions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical,
engineering and economic data. The data for a given property may also change
substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including additional
development activity, evolving production history and a continual reassessment
of the viability of production under changing economic conditions. As a result,
revisions in existing reserve estimates occur from time to time. Although every
reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent
our most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances
in available data for various properties increase the likelihood of significant
changes in these estimates over time. Because estimates of reserves
significantly affect DD&A expense, a change in estimated reserves could have
a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.

 Index




Exploratory
well drilling costs are initially capitalized but charged to expense if the well
is determined to be economically nonproductive.  The status of each
in-progress well is reviewed quarterly to determine the proper accounting
treatment under the successful efforts method of
accounting.  Cumulative costs on in-progress exploratory wells
(“Suspended Well Costs”) remain capitalized until their productive status
becomes known.  If an in-progress exploratory well is found to be
unsuccessful (referred to as a dry hole) prior to the issuance of financial
statements, the costs are expensed to exploratory dry hole costs.  If
a final determination about the productive status of a well cannot be made prior
to issuance of the financial statements, the well is classified as “Suspended
Well Costs” until there is sufficient time to conduct additional completion or
testing operations to evaluate the pertinent geological and engineering data
obtained.  When a final determination of a well’s productive status is
made, the well is removed from the suspended well status and the proper
accounting treatment is recorded.  The determination of an exploratory
well's ability to produce is made within one year from the completion of
drilling activities.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership
had no in-progress exploratory wells requiring “Suspended Well Costs”
classification.





Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets




Revenue
Recognition





Sales of
natural gas are recognized when natural gas has been delivered to a custody
transfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights
and responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser, collection of revenue
from the sale is reasonably assured, and the sales price is fixed or
determinable.  Natural gas upon delivery, is sold by the Managing
General Partner under contracts with terms ranging from one month up to the life
of the well.  Virtually all of the Managing General Partner’s
contracts’ pricing provisions are tied to a market index with certain
adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a
gathering or transmission line, quality of gas and prevailing supply and demand
conditions, so that the price of the natural gas fluctuates to remain
competitive with other available natural gas supplies.  As a result,
the Partnership’s revenues from the sale of natural gas will suffer if market
prices decline and benefit if they increase.  The Managing General
Partner may from time to time enter into derivative agreements, usually with a
term of two to three years, but in no cases longer than five years beyond the
derivative transaction date, which may either “swap” or “collar” a price range
in order to reduce the impact of market price fluctuations. The Partnership
believes that the pricing provisions of its natural gas contracts are customary
in the industry.

Partnership currently uses the “Net-Back” method of accounting for
transportation arrangements of natural gas sales.  The Partnership
sells natural gas at the wellhead, collects a price, and recognizes revenues
based on the wellhead sales price since transportation costs downstream of the
wellhead are incurred by the Partnership’s customers and reflected in the
wellhead price.

Sales of
oil are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the
oil is verified as produced and is delivered from storage tanks at well
locations to a purchaser, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably
assured, and the sales price is determinable.  The Partnership does
not refine any of its oil production.  The Partnership’s crude oil
production is sold to purchasers at or near the Partnership’s wells under
short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that
are customary in the oil industry.





Fair
Value of Financial Instruments





The
Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
effective January 1, 2008.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures related
to fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies broadly to financial and
nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value under other
authoritative accounting pronouncements, but does not expand the application of
fair value accounting to any new circumstances.  In February 2008, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”)
FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No.
157 by one year (to January 1, 2009) for nonfinancial assets and liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  Nonfinancial
assets and liabilities for which the Partnership has not applied the provisions
of SFAS No. 157 include those initially measured at fair value, including the
Partnership’s asset retirement obligations.





Derivative Financial
Instruments.  The Managing General Partner uses derivative
instruments to manage the Partnership’s commodity and financial market
risks.  The Partnership currently does not use hedge accounting
treatment for its derivatives.  Derivatives are reported on the
Partnership’s accompanying balance sheets at fair value on a gross asset and
liability basis.  Changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in
“Oil and gas price risk management, gain (loss), net,” in the Partnership’s
accompanying statements of operations.





SFAS No.
157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value.  The valuation hierarchy is based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the
measurement date, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets
(Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3).  In
some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels
of the fair value hierarchy.  The lowest level input that is
significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the
applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.  Assessing the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or
liability.  The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value are defined as:





Level 1 –
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.





Level 2 –
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly
or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and (iv)
inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other
means.





Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there
is little, if any, market activity for the asset or
liability.  Instruments included in Level 3 consist of Partnership
commodity derivatives for CIG-based natural gas swaps, NYMEX-based oil swaps,
natural gas fixed-price floor and ceiling price collars and natural gas basis
protection swaps.





The
Partnership measures the fair value of its derivatives based upon quoted market
prices, where available.  The Managing General Partner’s valuation
determination includes: (1) identification of the inputs to the fair value
methodology through the review of counterparty statements and other supporting
documentation, (2) determination of the validity of the source of the inputs,
(3) corroboration of the original source of inputs through access to multiple
quotes, if available, or other information and (4) monitoring changes in
valuation methods and assumptions.  The methods described above may
produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future fair
values.  The Managing General Partner’s valuation determination also
gives consideration to the nonperformance risk on PDC’s own business interests
and liabilities, as well as the credit standing of derivative instrument
counterparties.  The Managing General Partner primarily uses two
investment grade financial institutions as counterparties to its derivative
contracts.  The Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit risk
of the Partnership’s derivative assets from counterparties using relevant credit
market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each
counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative
position.  The Managing General Partner has determined based on this
evaluation, that the impact of counterparty non-performance on the fair value of
the Partnership’s derivative instruments is insignificant for the
Partnership.  As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership has recorded no
valuation allowance.  Furthermore, while the Managing General Partner
believes these valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with that used
by other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or
assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could
result in a different estimate of fair value.  The Partnership has
estimated the net fair value of Partnership commodity based derivatives as of
December 31, 2008, to be $2.7 million.

Non-Derivative Financial Assets and
Liabilities.  The carrying values of the financial instruments
comprising “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Accounts receivable,” “Accounts payable
and accrued expenses” and “Due from (to) Managing General Partner-other, net”
approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these
instruments.





Asset
Retirement Obligations





The
Partnership applies the provisions of SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations and Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations, and accounts for asset retirement obligations by
recording the fair value of its plugging and abandonment obligations when
incurred, which is at the time the well is completely drilled.  Upon
initial recognition of an asset retirement obligation, the Partnership increases
the carrying amount of the long-lived asset by the same amount as the
liability.  Over time, the asset retirement obligations are accreted,
over the estimated lives of the related assets, for the change in their present
value.  The initial capitalized costs are depleted over the useful
lives of the related assets, through charges to DD&A expense.  If
the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an
adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset
retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of
estimated inflation rates, escalating retirement costs and changes in the
estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations.  See Note
8, Asset Retirement
Obligations to the accompanying financial statements, for a
reconciliation of asset retirement obligation activity.

Item 7A.
            Quantitative
      and Qualitative Disclosure About Market
Risk





Market-Sensitive Instruments
and Risk Management





The
Partnership's primary market risk exposure is commodity price risk and related
credit exposure.  Management of the Managing General Partner has
established risk management processes to monitor and manage this market
risk.





Commodity
Price Risk





See Part
II, Item 7, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations−Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, for further discussion of the accounting for derivative
contracts.





The
Partnership is exposed to the effect of market fluctuations in the prices of oil
and natural gas as they relate to the Partnership’s oil and natural gas sales
and marketing activities.  Price risk represents the potential risk of
loss from adverse changes in the market price of oil and natural gas
commodities. The Managing General Partner employs established policies and
procedures to manage the risks associated with these market fluctuations using
commodity derivatives.  The Partnership's policy prohibits the use of
oil and natural gas derivative instruments for speculative
purposes.





- 38
-
 Index




Valuation
of a contract’s fair value is performed internally and, while the Managing
General Partner uses common industry practices to develop the Partnership’s
valuation techniques, changes in pricing methodologies or the underlying
assumptions could result in different fair values.  While the Managing
General Partner believes these valuation methods are appropriate and consistent
with those used by other market participants, the use of different
methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial
instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.





Risk
Management Strategies





The
Partnership’s results of operations and operating cash flows are affected by
changes in market prices for oil and natural gas.  To mitigate a
portion of the exposure to adverse market changes, the Managing General Partner
has entered into various derivative contracts.  As of December 31,
2008, the Partnership’s oil and natural gas derivative instruments were
comprised of “swaps” and “collars” in addition to “basis protection
swaps.”  These instruments generally consist of CIG-based contracts
for Colorado gas production and NYMEX-based contracts for Colorado oil
production.  In addition to the fixed-price swaps, collars and basis
protection swaps, derivative instruments which remain in effect at December 31,
2008, the Managing General Partner previously utilized “floor” contracts to
reduce the impact of natural gas and oil price declines in subsequent
periods.





·
            For
      “swap” instruments, if the market price is below the fixed contract price,
      PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the
      purchaser and receives the difference between the market price and the
      fixed contract price from the counterparty.  If the market price
      is above the fixed contract price, PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the difference
      between the market price and the fixed contract price to the
      counterparty.





·
            “Basis
      protection swaps” are arrangements that guarantee a price differential for
      natural gas valued at a specified pricing point, or hub.  For
      CIG basis protection swaps that have a negative pricing differential to
      NYMEX, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives a payment from the
      counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of
      the contract and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less
      than the stated terms of the
contract.





·
            “Collars”
      contain a fixed floor price (put) and ceiling price (call).  If
      the market price exceeds the fixed call strike price, PDC, as Managing
      General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the
      difference between the call strike price and market price to the
      counterparty.  If the market falls below the fixed put strike
      price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from
      the purchaser and receives the difference between the put strike price and
      market price from the counterparty.  If the market price is
      between the call and the put strike price, no payments are due from either
      party.





·
            “Floors”
      contain a floor price (put) whereby PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and the difference between
      the market price and floor price from the counterparty if the commodity
      market price falls below the floor strike price, but receives no payment
      when the commodity market price exceeds the floor
  price.





The
Managing General Partner enters into derivative instruments for Partnership
production to reduce the impact of price declines in future
periods.  While these derivatives are structured to reduce exposure to
changes in price associated with the derivative commodity, they also limit the
benefit the Partnership might otherwise have received from price changes in the
physical market.  The Partnership believes the derivative instruments
in place continue to be effective in achieving the risk management objectives
for which they were intended.

As of
December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments
was a net asset of $2.7 million compared to a net liability of $0.2 million as
of December 31, 2007.  Based on a sensitivity analysis as of December
31, 2008, it was estimated that a 10% increase in oil and gas prices, inclusive
of basis, over the entire period for which the Partnership has derivatives
currently in place would result in a decreased fair value of $0.1 million and a
10% decrease in oil and gas prices would result in an increase in fair value of
$2.0 million.





See Item
7, Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Results of
Operations, Oil and Gas Price Risk Management Gain (Loss), Net for a
detailed discussion of the Partnership’s open derivative positions related to
the Partnership’s oil and gas sales activities and a summary of the
Partnership’s open derivative positions as of December 31, 2008.





Credit
Risk





Credit
risk represents the loss that the Partnership would incur if a counterparty
fails to perform under its contractual obligations.  When the fair
value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Managing
General Partner, which in turn owes the Partnership, thus creating repayment
risk from counterparties.





The
Managing General Partner attempts to reduce credit risk by diversifying its
counterparty exposure and entering into transactions with high-quality
counterparties.  When exposed to credit risk, the Managing General
Partner analyzes the counterparties’ financial condition prior to entering into
an agreement, establishes credit limits and monitors the appropriateness of
those limits on an ongoing basis.  PDC, the Managing General Partner
has had no counterparty default losses.  The Managing General
Partner’s receivables are from a diverse group of companies, including major
energy companies, both upstream and mid-stream, financial institutions and
end-users in various industries.  The Managing General Partner
monitors their creditworthiness through credit reports and rating agency
reports.





The
Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit risk of the Partnership’s
assets from counterparties using relevant credit market default rates, giving
consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of
each outstanding derivative position.  Based on this evaluation, the
Managing General Partner has determined that the impact of the nonperformance of
counterparties on the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments is
insignificant.  The Managing General Partner has experienced no
counterparty defaults during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and no
valuation allowance has been recorded by the Partnership.  However,
the recent disruption in the credit market has had a significant impact on a
number of financial institutions.  Although the Managing General
Partner believes that its procedures are sufficient and customary, no amount of
analysis can guarantee performance in these uncertain times.





Disclosure
of Limitations





As the
information above incorporates only those exposures which existed as of, or
prior to, December 31, 2008, it does not consider those exposures or positions
which could arise after that date.  As a result, the Partnership's
ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to commodity price fluctuations
depends on the future exposures that arise during the period, the Partnership's
hedging strategies at the time and commodity prices at the time.

      and Procedures





The
Partnership has no direct management or officers.  The management,

are employed by the Managing General Partner.





(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures





As of
December 31, 2008, PDC, as Managing General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership, carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Managing General Partner's management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as the controls and procedures of an
issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.  Based upon that evaluation, the Managing General
Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
December 31, 2008 due to the existence of the material weakness described below
in Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in this Item
9A(T).





(b)  Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





Management
of PDC, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s
board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those
policies and procedures that:





Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
issuer;





Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and
expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the issuer; and





- 41
-
 Index




Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements of the issuer.





Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.





Management
of the Managing General Partner has assessed the effectiveness of the
Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,
based upon the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework”
issued by the Committee of  Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.  Based on this evaluation, management of the Managing
General Partner concluded that the Partnership did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 due to the
material weakness discussed below.  A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Management of PDC, the
Managing General Partner, identified the following material weakness related to
the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2008:





·
            For
      the transactions that are directly related to and processed by the
      Partnership, the Partnership failed to maintain sufficient documentation
      to adequately assess the operating effectiveness of internal control over
      financial reporting.  More specifically, the Partnership’s
      financial close and reporting narrative failed to adequately describe the
      process, identify key controls and assess segregation of
      duties.  This material weakness has not been
      remediated.





This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting which is not required until 2009.





(c)  Remediation of Material
Weaknesses in Internal Control





Management
of the Managing General Partner identified the following material weaknesses
related to the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal controls over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007:





·
            The
      support for the Partnership’s general ledger depends in part on the
      effectiveness of controls of the Managing General Partner’s
      spreadsheets.  The overall ineffectiveness of the Managing
      General Partner's spreadsheet controls could have a material effect on the
      Partnership’s financial statements.  The Partnership did not
      maintain effective controls to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and
      validity of key financial statement spreadsheets generated by the Managing
      General Partner.  These spreadsheets are utilized by the
      Partnership to support significant balance sheet and income statement
      accounts.





·
            The
      support for the Partnership’s derivative calculations depends in part on
      the effectiveness of controls of the Managing General Partner’s
      process.  The overall effectiveness of the Managing General
      Partner's derivative controls could have a material effect on the
      Partnership’s financial statements.  The Partnership did not
      maintain effective controls to ensure that the Managing General Partner
      had policies and procedures, or personnel with sufficient technical
      expertise to record derivative activities in accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles.





The
Partnership made no changes in its internal control over financial reporting
(such as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  During the first
and third quarters of 2008, the Managing General Partner made the following
changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal controls over financial reporting:





- 42
-
 Index




During
the first quarter of 2008, the Managing General Partner implemented the general
ledger, accounts receivable, cash receipts, revenue, financial reporting, and
joint interest billing modules as part of a new broader financial
system.  The Managing General Partner had planned to implement a
Partnership distribution module in 2008, however, the Managing General Partner
currently expects this module to be in place during 2009.  The new
financial system enhanced operating efficiencies and provided more effective
management of Partnership business operations and processes.  The
Managing General Partner believes the phased-in implementation approach it is
taking reduces the risks associated with the new financial system
implementation. The Managing General Partner has taken the necessary steps to
monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during this period of
change.  These steps include documenting all new business process
changes related to the new financial system; testing all new business processes
on the new financial system; and conducting training related to the new business
processes and to the new financial system software.  The Managing
General Partner expects the implementation of the new financial system will
strengthen the overall systems of internal controls due to enhanced automation
and integration of related processes.  The Managing General Partner
continues to modify the design and documentation of internal control processes
and procedures related to the new financial system to supplement and complement
existing internal controls over financial reporting.  The system
changes were developed to integrate systems and consolidate information, and
were not undertaken in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.  Testing of
the controls related to these new systems was included in the scope of the
Managing General Partner's assessment of the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting for 2008.





During
the third quarter of 2008, the Managing General Partner improved controls over
certain key financial statement spreadsheets that support all significant
balance sheet and income statement accounts.  Specifically, the
Managing General Partner enhanced the spreadsheet policy to provide additional
clarification and guidance with regard to risk assessment and enforced controls
over:  1) the security and integrity of the data used in the various
spreadsheets, 2) access to the spreadsheets, 3) changes to spreadsheet
functionality and the related approval process and documentation and 4)
increased management’s review of the spreadsheets.





During
the third quarter of 2008, in addition to accredited derivative training
attended by key personnel, the Managing General Partner created and documented a
desktop procedure to:  1) ensure the completeness and accuracy of the
Managing General Partner’s derivative activities and 2) supplement key controls
previously existing in the process.  Further, the desktop procedure
provides for a more robust review of the Managing General Partner’s derivative
process.  This procedure continued to be enhanced throughout the
fourth quarter of 2008.





Based on
the changes in the Managing General Partner’s internal control over financial
reporting discussed above, the Managing General Partner has concluded that the
two material weaknesses which were identified as of December 31, 2007, had been
remediated as of December 31, 2008.

PART
III





Item 10.
            Directors,
      Executive Officers and Corporate
Governance





The
Partnership has no directors or executive officers.  The Partnership
is managed by PDC, the Managing General Partner.





PDC, a
publicly-owned Nevada corporation, was organized in 1955.  The common
stock of PDC is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol
"PETD."  Since 1969, PDC has been engaged in the business of exploring
for, developing and producing oil and gas primarily in West Virginia, Tennessee,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and the Rocky Mountains.  As of December 31,
2008, PDC had approximately 317 employees.  PDC will make available to
Investor Partners, upon request, audited financial statements of PDC for the
most recent fiscal year and unaudited financial statements for interim
periods.  PDC's Internet address is www.petd.com.  PDC posts
on its Internet Web site its periodic and current reports and other information,
including its audited financial statements, that it files with the SEC, as well
as various charters and other corporate governance information.





As the
Managing General Partner, PDC actively manages and conducts the business of the
Partnership.  PDC has the full and complete power to do any and all
things necessary and incident to the management and conduct of the Partnership's
business.  PDC is responsible for maintaining Partnership bank
accounts, collecting Partnership revenues, making distributions to the partners,
delivering reports to the partners, and supervising the drilling, completion,
and operation of the Partnership's natural gas and oil wells.  The
executive officers of PDC are full-time employees of PDC.  As such,
they devote the entirety of their daily time to the business and operations of
PDC.  One of the major business segments of PDC includes the operation
of the business of PDC's sponsored limited partnerships, including the
Partnership.  An element of their job responsibilities requires that
they devote such time and attention to the business and affairs of the
Partnership as is reasonably required.  This time commitment varies
for each individual and varies over the life of the Partnership.





In
addition to managing the affairs of the Partnership, the management and
technical staff of PDC also manage the corporate affairs of PDC, the affairs of
33 limited partnerships and other joint ventures formed over the
years.  PDC owns an interest in all of the 33 limited partnerships for
which it acts as Managing General Partner.  Because PDC must divide
its attention and efforts among many unrelated parties, the Partnership does not
receive its full attention or efforts at all times, however, PDC believes that
it devotes sufficient time, attention and expertise to the Partnership to
appropriately manage the affairs of the Partnership.  Since PDC has an
interest in all Partnership wells, the operations of such wells receive the full
attention of the operations group to maximize the well’s performance for both
the Partnership and PDC.





Although
the Partnership has no Code of Ethics, PDC has a Code of Ethics that applies to
its senior executive officers.  The Code of Ethics is posted on PDC’s
website at www.petd.com.





Experience and Capabilities
as Driller/Operator





PDC is
contracted to serve as operator for the Partnership wells.  Since
1969, PDC has drilled wells in Colorado, West Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan,
North Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Texas and Pennsylvania.  PDC currently
operates approximately 4,712 wells.





PDC
employs geologists who develop prospects for drilling by PDC and who help
oversee the drilling process.  In addition, PDC has an engineering
staff that is responsible for well completions, pipelines, and production
operations.  PDC retains drilling subcontractors, completion
subcontractors, and a variety of other subcontractors in the performance of the
work of drilling contract wells.  In addition to technical management,
PDC may provide services, at competitive rates, from PDC-owned service rigs, a
water truck, steel tanks used temporarily on the well location during the
drilling and completion of a well, roustabouts, and other assorted small
equipment and services.  A roustabout is an oil and natural gas field
employee who provides skilled general labor for assembling well components and
other similar tasks.  PDC may lay short gathering lines, or may
subcontract all or part of the work where it is more cost effective for the
Partnership.  PDC employs full-time well tenders and supervisors to
operate its wells.  In addition, the engineering staff evaluates
reserves of all wells at least annually and reviews well performance against
expectations.  All services provided by PDC are provided at rates less
than or equal to prevailing rates for similar services provided by unaffiliated
persons in the area.

Item 11.
            Executive

remuneration, compensation or reimbursement from the
Partnership.  These persons receive compensation solely from
PDC.  The management fee and other amounts paid to the Managing
General Partner by the Partnership are not used to directly compensate or
reimburse PDC’s officers or directors.  No management fee was paid to
PDC in 2008 or 2007 as the Partnership is not required to pay a management fee
other than a one time fee paid in the initial year of formation per the
Agreement.  The Partnership pays a monthly fee for each producing well
based upon competitive industry rates for operations and field supervision and
$75 per well per month for Partnership related general and administrative
expenses that include accounting, engineering and management of the Partnership
by the MGP.  See Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence for a discussion of compensation

Item 13.
            Certain
      Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
      Independence





Compensation to the Managing
General Partner and Affiliates





The
Managing General Partner transacts all of the Partnership's business on behalf
of the Partnership.  See Note 3, Transactions with Managing General
Partner and Affiliates to the accompanying financial statements, for
information regarding compensation to and transactions with the Managing General
Partner and affiliates.





Related Party Transaction
Policies and Approval





The
Limited Partnership Agreement and the Drilling and Operating Agreement with
Petroleum Development Corporation govern related party transactions, including
those described above.





Other Agreements and
Arrangements





Executive
officers of the Managing General Partner are eligible to invest in a
Board-approved executive drilling program, as approved by the Board of
Directors.





These
executive officers may profit from their participation in the executive drilling
program because they invest in wells at cost and do not have to pay drilling
compensation, management fees or broker commissions and therefore obtain an
interest in the wells at a reduced price than that which is generally charged to
the investing partners in a Partnership.  Investor partners
participating in drilling through a partnership are generally charged a profit
or markup above the cost of the wells, management fees and commissions at rates
which are generally similar to those for this Partnership outlined in Note 3,
Transactions with Managing
General Partner and Affiliates to the accompanying financial
statements.





Through
the executive drilling program, certain executive officers have invested in all
of the wells owned by the Partnership prior to the drilling of each of the
wells.  Ownership by each executive in Partnership wells varies
depending on when the well was drilled and the amount of funds invested in the
program.  The aggregate ownership percentage ranges from 0.20% to
0.23% of each well in the Partnership.  The Board believes that having
the executive officers invest in wells with the company and other investor
partners helps to create a commonality of interests much like share ownership
creates a commonality of interests between the shareholders and executive
officers.





Director
Independence





The
Partnership has no directors.  The Partnership is managed by the
Managing General Partner.  See Item 10, Directors, Executive Officers and
Corporate Governance.








Item 14.
            Principal
      Accountant Fees and Services





There
were billings from the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting
firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), of $263,599 and $95,000 for audit fees
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.  Additionally, during 2008 there were billings from the
Partnership’s former independent registered public accounting firm KPMG, LLP
(“KPMG”) applicable to the period February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to
December 31, 2005 of approximately $22,000.  These audit fees include
amounts billed for professional services rendered by PwC and KPMG for the audit
of the Partnership’s financial statements in its comprehensive Annual Report on
Form 10-K for years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from
February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005 as well as unaudited
interim condensed financial information for each applicable interim period in
2007, 2006 and 2005.  This comprehensive Annual Form 10-K was filed
with the SEC on February 26, 2009.  For the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, there were tax billings from the Partnership’s independent
registered public accounting firm, PwC, of approximately $16,000 and $8,000,
respectively.

Audit
Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures





The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that all services provided to the
Partnership by its independent registered public accounting firm be subject to
pre-approval by the Audit Committee or authorized members of the
Committee.  The Partnership has no Audit Committee.  The
Audit Committee of PDC, as Managing General Partner, has adopted policies and
procedures for pre-approval of all audit services and non-audit services to be
provided by the Partnership's independent registered public accounting
firm.  Services necessary to conduct the annual audit must be
pre-approved by the Audit Committee annually at a meeting. Permissible non-audit
services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm
may also be approved on an annual basis by the Audit Committee if they are of a
recurring nature.  Permissible non-audit services to be conducted by
the independent registered public accounting firm, which are not eligible for
annual pre-approval, must be pre-approved individually by the full Audit
Committee or by an authorized Audit Committee member.  Actual fees
incurred for all services performed by the independent registered public
accounting firm will be reported to the Audit Committee after the services are
fully performed.  The duties of the Committee are described in the
Audit Committee Charter, which is available at the Managing General Partner
PDC’s website under Corporate
Governance.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



















To the
Partners of the PDC 2005-A Limited Partnership,





In our
opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of PDC 2005-A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





As
discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Partnership has significant
related party transactions with Petroleum Development Corporation and its
subsidiaries.

PDC
2005-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP





Notes to
Financial Statements





Note 1 -
Organization





The PDC
2005-A Limited Partnership (the “Partnership” or the “Registrant”) was organized
as a limited partnership on November 30, 2004 in accordance with the laws of the
State of West Virginia for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and
development of oil and natural gas properties.  Upon completion of its
sale of partnership units on February 9, 2005, the Partnership was funded and
commenced its business operations.





Purchasers
of partnership units subscribed to and fully paid for 124.79 units of limited
partner interests and 1,872.08 units of additional general partner interests at
$20,000 per unit.  As of March 31, 2009, there were 1,513 Investor
Partners.  Petroleum Development Corporation (“PDC”) has been
designated the Managing General Partner of the Partnership and has a 20%
ownership in the Partnership. Generally, throughout the term of the Partnership,
revenues, costs, and cash distributions are allocated 80% to the limited and
additional general partners (collectively, the “Investor Partners”), which are
shared pro rata based upon the portion of units owned in the Partnership, and
20% to the Managing General Partner.  As of March 31, 2009, the
Managing General Partner has repurchased 18 units of the total 1,996.87
outstanding units of Partnership interests from Investor Partners at an average
price of $10,193 per unit.





Upon
completion of the drilling phase of the Partnership's wells, all additional
general partners’ units were converted into units of limited partner interests
and thereafter became limited partners of the Partnership.





In
accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement (the
“Agreement”), the Managing General Partner manages all activities of the
Partnership and acts as the intermediary for substantially all Partnership
transactions.





Executive Drilling
Program





Executive
officers of the Managing General Partner are eligible to invest in a
Board-approved executive drilling program, as approved by the Board of
Directors.  These executive officers may profit from their
participation in the executive drilling program because they invest in wells at
cost and do not have to pay drilling compensation, management fees or broker
commissions and therefore obtain an interest in the wells at a reduced price
than that which is generally charged to the investing partners in a
partnership.  Investor partners participating in drilling through a
partnership are generally charged a profit or markup above the cost of the
wells, management fees and commissions.  See Note 3, Transactions with Managing General
Partner.





Through
the executive drilling program, certain executive officers have invested in the
wells owned by the Partnership.  Ownership by each executive in
Partnership wells varies depending on when the well was drilled and the amount
of funds invested in the program.  The aggregate ownership percentage
ranges from 0.20% to 0.23% of each well in the Partnership.  The Board
believes that having the executive officers invest in wells with PDC and other
investor partners helps to create a commonality of interests much like share
ownership creates a commonality of interests between the shareholders and
executive officers.





Note 2 -
Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies





Basis of
Presentation





The
financial statements include only those assets, liabilities and results of
operations of the partners which relate to the business of the
Partnership.  The statements do not include any assets, liabilities,
revenues or expenses attributable to any of the partners' other
activities.





Cash and Cash
Equivalents





The
Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Partnership
maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents in a bank account
at one financial institution.  The balance in the Partnership’s
account is temporarily insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or
FDIC, in an amount up to $250,000 through December 31, 2009, after such date the
FDIC limit will revert to $100,000 unless the temporary limit is extended or
made permanent.  At times, the Partnership’s account balance may
exceed FDIC limits.  The Partnership has not experienced losses in any
such accounts and limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and
cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts





The
Partnership’s accounts receivable are from purchasers of oil and natural gas
production.  The Partnership sells substantially all of its oil and
natural gas to customers who purchase oil and natural gas from other
partnerships managed by the Partnership’s Managing General
Partner.  Inherent to our industry is the concentration of oil and
natural gas sales to a few customers.  This industry concentration has
the potential to impact the Partnership’s overall exposure to credit risk,
either positively or negatively, in that its customers may be similarly affected
by changes in economic, industry or other conditions.





As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership did not record an allowance for
doubtful accounts.  Historically, neither PDC nor any of the other
partnerships managed by the Partnership’s Managing General Partner have
experienced significant losses on accounts receivable.  The Managing
General Partner periodically reviews accounts receivable for credit risks
resulting from changes in the financial condition of its
customers.  The Partnership did not incur any losses on accounts
receivable for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.





Due from (to) Managing
General Partner - Other, Net





The
Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of the
Partnership.  Other than the Partnership’s portion of unexpired
derivatives instruments, which are included in separate balance sheet captions,
all other unsettled transactions with PDC and its affiliates are recorded net on
the balance sheet under the caption “Due from (to) Managing General Partner –
other, net” and are more fully described in Note 3, Transactions with Managing General
Partner and Affiliates.  In addition, certain amounts recorded
by the Partnership as assets in the account “Due from (to) Managing General
Partner – other, net” include amounts that are being held as restricted cash by
the Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership and other
partnerships for which PDC serves as Managing General Partner.





Additionally,
certain amounts recorded by the Partnership as liabilities in the account “Due
from (to) Managing General Partner – other, net” were funded by the Managing
General Partner and are currently held in escrow for distribution to litigants,
which represents unpaid royalties on Partnership production through 2008 which
will be deducted from future Partner distributions.  These amounts,
which total approximately $73,000 including legal fees of approximately $5,000
as of December 31, 2008, represent the Partnership’s share of the court approved
royalty litigation settlement more fully described in Note 9, Commitments and
Contingencies.





On behalf
of and to the benefit of the Partnership and other partnerships for which PDC
serves as Managing General Partner, the Managing General Partner maintains a
margin deposit with counterparties on outstanding derivative contracts and also
maintains bonds in the form of certificates of deposit for the plugging and
abandoning of wells as required by various governmental
agencies.  Since these deposits represent general obligations of the
Managing General Partner and are not specific and identifiable as obligations of
the Partnership, no amounts are recorded by the Partnership related to these
contingent deposits.





Inventories





Oil
inventories are stated at the lower of average lifting cost or market, and are
removed at carrying value.

Oil and Gas
Properties





The
Partnership accounts for its oil and natural gas properties (the “Properties”)
under the successful efforts method of accounting. Costs of proved developed
producing properties, successful exploratory wells and development dry hole
costs are depreciated or depleted by the unit-of-production method based on
estimated proved developed oil and natural gas reserves.  Property
acquisition costs are depreciated or depleted on the unit-of-production method
based on estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves.  The
Partnership obtains new reserve reports from independent petroleum engineers
annually as of December 31.  See Supplemental Oil and Gas
Information–Unaudited, Net
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves for additional information regarding the
Partnership’s reserve reporting.  In accordance with the Agreement,
all capital contributed to the Partnership after deducting syndication costs and
a one-time management fee is required to be used solely for the drilling of oil
and natural gas wells.  Accordingly, all such funds were advanced to
the Managing General Partner as of December 31, 2005, the year Partnership
operations commenced.  Amounts that have not yet been used by the
Managing General Partner for drilling activities are reported under the caption
“Drilling advances to Managing General Partner.”





Partnership
estimates of proved reserves are based on quantities of oil and gas that
engineering and geological analysis demonstrates, with reasonable certainty, to
be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating
and economic conditions.  Independent petroleum engineers prepare the
annual reserve and economic evaluation of all properties on a well-by-well
basis.  Additionally, the Partnership adjusts oil and gas reserves for
major well rework or abandonment during the year as needed. The process of
estimating and evaluating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant
decisions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering
and economic data. The data for a given property may also change substantially
over time as a result of numerous factors, including additional development
activity, evolving production history and a continual reassessment of the
viability of production under changing economic conditions. As a result,
revisions in existing reserve estimates occur from time to time. Although every
reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent
our most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances
in available data for various properties increase the likelihood of significant
changes in these estimates over time. Because estimates of reserves
significantly affect our depreciation, depletion and
amortization (“DD&A”) expense, a change in our estimated reserves could
have an effect on our net income.





In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the Partnership assesses its proved oil and gas
properties for possible impairment, upon a triggering event, by comparing net
capitalized costs to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows on a
field-by-field basis using estimated production based upon prices at which the
Partnership reasonably estimates the commodity to be sold. The estimates of
future prices may differ from current market prices of oil and natural gas.
Downward revisions in estimates to the Partnership's reserve quantities,
expectations of falling commodity prices or rising operating costs could result
in a triggering event and therefore a possible impairment of the Partnership's
oil and natural gas properties. If net capitalized costs exceed undiscounted
future net cash flows, impairment is based on estimated fair value utilizing a
future discounted cash flow analysis and is measured by the amount by which the
net capitalized costs exceed their fair value. Due to the significant reduction
in oil and natural gas prices during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership
reviewed its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment. The
Partnership did not incur any impairment loss as a result of this
review.




Revenue
Recognition





Sales of
natural gas are recognized when natural gas has been delivered to a custody
transfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights
and responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collection
of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured, and the sales price is fixed or
determinable.  Natural gas is sold by the Managing General Partner
under contracts with terms ranging from one month up to the life of the
well.  Virtually all of the Managing General Partner’s contracts'
pricing provisions are tied to a market index with certain adjustments based on,
among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission
line, quality of natural gas and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so
that the price of the natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other
available gas supplies.





The
Partnership currently uses the “Net-Back” method of accounting for
transportation arrangements of natural gas sales.  The Partnership
sells natural gas at the wellhead, collects a price, and recognizes revenues
based on the wellhead sales price since transportation costs downstream of the
wellhead are incurred by the Partnership’s customers and reflected in the
wellhead price.

Sales of
oil are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the
oil is verified as produced and is delivered from storage tanks at well
locations to a purchaser, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably
assured and the sales price is determinable.  The Partnership is
currently able to sell all the oil that it can produce under existing sales
contracts with petroleum refiners and marketers.  The Partnership does
not refine any of its oil production.  The Partnership’s crude oil
production is sold to purchasers at or near the Partnership’s wells under
short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that
are customary in the oil industry.





The
Partnership presents any taxes collected from customers and remitted to a
government agency on a net basis in its statements of operations in accordance
with EITF 06-3, How Taxes
Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governments Should be Presented in the
Income Statement.





The
Partnership sold natural gas and oil to three customers: DCP Midstream LP
(“DCP”), Teppco Crude Oil, LP (“Teppco”) and Williams Production RMT
(“Williams”), which accounted for 7%, 30% and 63%, respectively, of the
Partnership’s total natural gas and oil sales for the year ended December 31,
2008.  These same three customers accounted for 10%, 30% and 60%,
respectively, of the Partnership’s total natural gas and oil sales for the year
ended December 31, 2007.





Asset Retirement
Obligations





The
Partnership applies the provisions of SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligationsand Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, and accounts for
asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of its plugging and
abandonment obligations when incurred, which is at the time the well is
completely drilled.  Upon initial recognition of an asset retirement
obligation, the Partnership increases the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset by the same amount as the liability.  Over time, the asset
retirement obligations are accreted, over the estimated life of the related
asset, for the change in their present value.  The initial capitalized
costs are depleted over the useful lives of the related assets, through charges
to DD&A expense.  If the fair value of the estimated asset
retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset
retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated
liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, escalating
retirement costs and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset
retirement obligations.  See Note 8, Asset Retirement Obligations
for a reconciliation of asset retirement obligation activity.





Derivative Financial
Instruments





The
Partnership accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, as amended.





During
2008 and 2007, none of the Partnership’s derivative instruments qualified for
use of hedge accounting under the provisions of SFAS No.
133.  Accordingly, the Partnership recognizes all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities on its balance sheets at fair value,
and changes in the derivatives' fair values are recorded on a net basis in the
Partnership’s statements of operations.  Changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments related to the Partnership’s oil and gas sales activities
are recorded in “Oil and gas price risk management, gain (loss),
net.”





See Note
4, Derivative Financial
Instruments, and Note 5, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, for a discussion of the Partnership’s derivative fair value
measurements and a summary fair value table of open positions as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively.

Notes to
Financial Statements





Income
Taxes





Since the
taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the separate tax
returns of the individual investor partners, no provision has been made for
income taxes by the Partnership.





Production Tax
Liability





The
Partnership is responsible for production taxes which are primarily made up of
severance and property taxes to be paid to the states and counties in which the
Partnership produces oil and natural gas. The Partnership’s share of these taxes
is expensed to the account “Production and operating costs.”  The
Partnership’s production taxes payable are included in the caption “Accounts
payable and accrued expenses” on the Partnership’s balance sheet.





Use of
Estimates





The
Partnership has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these Partnership financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates which are particularly significant to the financial statements include
estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, future cash flows from oil and
natural gas properties which are used in assessing impairment of long-lived
assets, estimated production and severance taxes, asset retirement obligations,
and valuation of derivative instruments.





Recently Adopted Accounting
Standards





The
Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
effective January 1, 2008.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures related
to fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies broadly to financial and
nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value under other
authoritative accounting pronouncements, but does not expand the application of
fair value accounting to any new circumstances.  In February 2008, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”)
FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No.
157 by one year (to January 1, 2009) for nonfinancial assets and liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  Nonfinancial
assets and liabilities for which the Partnership has not applied the provisions
of SFAS No. 157 include those initially measured at fair value, including the
Partnership’s asset retirement obligations.  As of the adoption date,
the Partnership has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to its recurring
measurements and the impact was not material to the Partnership’s underlying
fair values and no amounts were recorded relative to the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle.  The Partnership is currently
evaluating the potential effect that the nonfinancial assets and liabilities
provisions of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements when adopted in
2009.  See Note 5, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.





In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active, which applies to
financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or
permit fair value measurements in accordance with SFAS No. 157. This FSP
clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and
defines additional key criteria in determining the fair value of a financial
asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.  FSP FAS
No. 157-3 was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the
Partnership’s financial statements.





In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 permits
entities to choose to measure, at fair value, many financial instruments and
certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair
value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused
by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons
between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types
of assets and liabilities.  The statement became effective for the
Partnership on January 1, 2008.  The Partnership has not and does not
intend to measure additional financial assets and liabilities at fair
value.

In April
2007, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No.
39, to amend certain portions of Interpretation 39.  FIN 39-1
replaces the terms “conditional contracts” and “exchange contracts” in
Interpretation 39 with the term “derivative instruments” as defined in Statement
133.  FIN 39-1 also amends Interpretation 39 to allow for the
offsetting of fair value amounts for the right to reclaim cash collateral or
receivable, or the obligation to return cash collateral or payable, arising from
the same master netting arrangement as the derivative
instruments.  FIN 39-1 applies to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted.  The January 1,
2008, adoption of FSP FIN 39-1 had no impact on the Partnership’s financial
statements.





In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141 (revised 2007),
Business Combinations
(“FAS No. 141(R)”).  FAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize
the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in
the acquiree at their acquisition-date fair values.  FAS No. 141(R)
also requires disclosure of the information necessary for investors and other
users to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business
combination.  Additionally, FAS No. 141(R) requires that
acquisition-related costs be expensed as incurred.  The provisions of
FAS No. 141(R) will become effective for acquisitions completed on or after
January 1, 2009; however, the income tax provisions of FAS No. 141(R) will
become effective as of that date for all acquisitions, regardless of the
acquisition date.  FAS No. 141(R) amends FAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax
benefits recognizable due to a business combination either in income from
continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in
contributed capital, depending on the circumstances.  FAS No. 141(R)
further amends FAS No. 109 and FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, to require, subsequent to a prescribed measurement period, changes
to acquisition-date income tax uncertainties to be reported in income from
continuing operations and changes to acquisition-date acquiree deferred tax
benefits to be reported in income from continuing operations or directly in
contributed capital, depending on the circumstances.  In April 2009,
the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 141(R)-1 Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies (“FSP 141(R)-1”), amending the guidance of FAS No. 141(R)
to required that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair
value can be reasonably estimated and if not, the asset and liability would
generally be recognized in accordance with FAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount
of a Loss.  Further, FSP 141(R)-1 requires that certain
acquired contingencies be treated as contingent consideration and measured both
initially and subsequently at fair value.  The Partnership adopted the
provisions of FAS No. 141(R) and FSP 141(R)-1 effective January 1, 2009, for
which the provisions will be applied prospectively in the Partnership’s
accounting for future acquisitions, if any.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No.
51.  FAS No. 160 states that accounting and reporting for
minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and
classified as a component of equity.  Additionally, SFAS No. 160
establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures which
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the
interests of the non-controlling owners.  The Partnership adopted the
provisions of FAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption of
FAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial
statements.





In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157 (“FAS No. 157”) (“FSP 157-2”), which delayed the effective date of
FAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, by one year (to January 1, 2009) for nonfinancial assets
and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least
annually).  Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the
provisions of FAS No. 157 delayed by FSP 157-2.  The adoptions of FSP
157-2 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial
statements.  See Note 5, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.

In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133, which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities.  Enhanced disclosures are required to provide
information about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows.  The Partnership adopted the provisions of
FAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption of FAS No. 161
did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial
statements.  See Note 4, Derivative Financial
Instruments.





Recently Issued Accounting
Standards





On April
9, 2009, the FASB issued the following amendments to the fair value measurement
and disclosure standards:





·
            FSP
      No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When
      the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
      Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
      Orderly (“FSP 157-4”)





·
            FSP
      No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair
      Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1/APB
    28-1”)





FSP 157-4
affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not
active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly
transaction; clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether
there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the
market for that asset is not active; eliminates the proposed presumption that
all transactions are distressed (not orderly) unless proven otherwise and
instead requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction
was not orderly on the weight of the evidence; requires an entity to disclose a
change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the
application of the FSP and to quantify its effects, if practicable; and applies
to all fair value measurements when appropriate.





FSP
107-1/APB 28-1 amends FAS No. 107, Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to
provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim
financial information.  This FSP also amends Accounting Principles
Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods.  Pursuant to this FSP, a
reporting entity shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial
instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim
reporting periods.  In addition, an entity shall disclose in the body
or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim
reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods
the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of
financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107.





Both FSP
157-4 and FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009.  However, early adoption is allowed only
if certain FSPs are early adopted together: an entity early adopting FSP 157-4
must also early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP 115-2/124-2”) and an entity early
adopting FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 must also elect to early adopt FSP 157-4 and FSP
115-2/124-4.  The Partnership does expect these FSPs to have a
significant impact on the Partnership’s financial statements when adopted on
April 1, 2009.





In
January 2009, the SEC published its final rule, Modernization of Oil and Gas
Reporting, which modifies the SEC’s reporting and disclosure rules for
oil and natural gas reserves.  The most notable changes of the final
rule include the replacement of the single day period-end pricing for valuing
oil and natural gas reserves to a 12-month average of the first day of the month
price for each month within the reporting period.  The final rule also
permits voluntary disclosure of probable and possible reserves, a disclosure
previously prohibited by SEC rules.  The revised reporting and
disclosure requirements are effective for the Partnership’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Early adoption is not
permitted.  The Partnership is evaluating the impact that adoption of
this final rule will have on the Partnership’s financial statements, related
disclosure and management’s discussion and analysis.

Transactions with
Managing General Partner and Affiliates





The
Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of the
Partnership.  Revenues and other cash inflows received on behalf of
the Partnership are distributed to the Partners net of (after deducting)
corresponding operating costs and other cash outflows incurred on behalf of the
Partnership.  The fair value of the Partnership’s portion of unexpired
derivative instruments is recorded on the balance sheet under the captions “Due
from Managing General Partner–derivatives” in the case of net unrealized gains
or “Due to Managing General Partner–derivatives” in the case of net unrealized
losses.  Undistributed oil and natural gas revenues collected by the
MGP from the Partnership’s customers of $565,638 and $811,275 as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in the balance sheet caption “Due from
Managing General Partner - other, net.”  The $811,275 of undistributed
oil and natural gas revenues at December 31, 2007 has been reclassified from
“Accounts Receivable” to “Due from Managing General Partner – other, net” to
conform to current year presentation.  Realized gains or losses that
have not yet been distributed to the Partnership are included in the balance
sheet captions “Due from Managing General Partner-other, net” or “Due to
Managing General Partner-other, net,” respectively.  Undistributed
realized gains amounted to $738,074 and $85,251 as of December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. All other unsettled transactions between the Partnership and
the Managing General Partner are recorded net on the balance sheet under the

(1) Under
the Drilling and Operating Agreement, the Managing General Partner, as operator
of the wells, receives the following from the Partnership when the wells begin
producing:


·
            reimbursement
      at actual cost for all direct expenses incurred on behalf of the
      Partnership;


·
            monthly
      well operating charges for operating and maintaining the wells during
      producing operations at a competitive rate;
and


·
            monthly
      administration charge for Partnership
  activities.





During
the production phase of operations, the Managing General Partner as operator
receives a monthly fee for each producing well based upon competitive industry
rates for operations and field supervision and $75 for Partnership-related
general and administrative expenses that include accounting, engineering and
management.  The Managing General Partner as operator bills
non-routine operations and administration costs to the Partnership at its
cost.  The Managing General Partner may not benefit by
inter-positioning itself between the Partnership and the actual provider of
operator services.  In no event is any consideration received for
operator services duplicative of any consideration or reimbursement received
under the Agreement.





The well
operating charges cover all normal and regularly recurring operating expenses

(2) The
Managing General Partner and its affiliates may enter into other transactions
with the Partnership for services, supplies and equipment during the production
phase of the Partnership, and is entitled to compensation at competitive prices
and terms as determined by reference to charges of unaffiliated companies
providing similar services, supplies and equipment.  Management
believes these transactions were on terms no less favorable than could have been
obtained from non-affiliated third parties.





(3) Under
the Agreement, the Managing General Partner is responsible for gathering,
compression, processing and transporting the gas produced by the Partnership to
interstate pipeline systems, local distribution companies, and/or end-users in
the area from the point the natural gas from the well is commingled with natural
gas from other wells.  In such a case, the Managing General Partner
uses gathering systems already owned by PDC or PDC constructs the necessary
facilities if no such line exists.  In such a case, the Partnership
pays a gathering, compression and processing fee directly to the Managing
General Partner at competitive rates.  If a third-party gathering
system is used, the Partnership pays the gathering fee charged by the
third-party gathering the gas.





(4) The
Managing General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for all direct costs
expended by them on the Partnership’s behalf for administrative and professional
fees, such as legal expenses, audit fees and engineering fees for reserve
reports.





(5) The
Agreement provides for the allocation of cash distributions 80% to the Investor
Partners and 20% to the Managing General Partner.  The cash
disbursements include $17,685 for Investor Partner units repurchased by
PDC.  For additional disclosure regarding the allocation of cash
distributions, refer to Note 6, Partners’ Equity and Cash
Distributions.





Additionally,
refer to Note 4, Derivative
Financial Instruments for derivative transactions between the Partnership
and the Managing General Partner.





The
Partnership holds record title in its name to the working interest in each
well.  PDC provides an assignment of working interest for the well
bore prior to the spudding of the well and effective the date of the spudding of
the well, to the Partnership in accordance with the Drilling and Operation
Agreement.  Upon completion of the drilling of all of the Partnership
wells, these assignments are recorded in the applicable
county.  Investor Partners rely on PDC to use its best judgment to
obtain appropriate title to these working interests.  Provisions of
the Agreement relieve PDC from any error in judgment with respect to the waiver
of title defects.  PDC takes those steps it deems necessary to assure
that title to the leases is acceptable for purposes of the
Partnership.

Note 4 -
Derivative Financial
Instruments





The
Partnership is exposed to the effect of market fluctuations in the prices of oil
and natural gas as they relate to oil and natural gas sales.  Price
risk represents the potential risk of loss from adverse changes in the market
price of oil and natural gas commodities.  The Managing General
Partner employs established policies and procedures to manage the risks
associated with these market fluctuations using commodity
derivatives.  Partnership policy prohibits the use of oil and natural
gas derivative instruments for speculative purposes.





Concentration of Credit Risk.
A significant portion of the Partnership’s liquidity is concentrated in
derivative instruments that enables the Partnership to manage a portion of its
exposure to price volatility from producing oil and natural
gas.  These arrangements expose the Partnership to credit
risk.  These contracts consist of fixed-price swaps, basis swaps and
collars.  Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform
under the terms of the derivative contract.  When the fair value of a
derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Managing General
Partner, which in turn owes the Partnership, thus creating repayment risk from
counterparties.  The Managing General Partner seeks to diversify
counterparty exposure by entering into transactions with high-quality
counterparties including two investment grade financial
institutions.  The Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit
risk of the Partnership’s assets from counterparties using relevant credit
market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each
counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative
position.  Based on this evaluation, the Managing General Partner has
determined that the impact of the nonperformance of counterparties on the fair
value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments is
insignificant.  The Managing General Partner has experienced no
counterparty defaults during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and no
valuation allowance has been recorded by the Partnership.  However,
the recent disruption in the credit market has had a significant impact on a
number of financial institutions.  The Managing General Partner
believes that its procedures are sufficient and customary but no amount of
analysis can guarantee performance in these uncertain times.





Risk Management
Strategies.  The Partnership’s results of operations and
operating cash flows are affected by changes in market prices for oil and
natural gas.  To mitigate a portion of the exposure to adverse market
changes, the Managing General Partner has entered into various derivative
instruments. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s oil and natural gas
derivative instruments were comprised of “swaps” and “collars” in addition to
“basis protection swaps.”  These instruments generally consist of
Colorado Interstate Gas Index, or CIG, based contracts for Colorado gas
production and New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, based contracts for
Colorado oil production.  In addition to the fixed-price swaps,
collars and basis protection swaps which remain in effect at December 31, 2008,
the Managing General Partner previously utilized “floor” contracts to reduce the
impact of natural gas and oil price declines in subsequent periods.




·
            For
      swap instruments, if the market price is below the fixed contract price,
      PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the
      purchaser and receives the difference between the market price and the
      fixed contract price from the counterparty.  If the market price
      is above the fixed contract price, PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the difference
      between the market price and the fixed contract price to the
      counterparty.

      protection swaps are arrangements that guarantee a price differential for
      natural gas valued at a specified pricing point, or hub.  For
      CIG basis protection swaps that have a negative pricing differential to
      NYMEX, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives a payment from the
      counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of
      the contract and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less
      than the stated terms of the
contract.





·
            Collars
      contain a fixed floor price (put) and ceiling price (call).  If
      the market price exceeds the fixed call strike price, PDC, as Managing
      General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the
      difference between the call strike price and market price to the
      counterparty.  If the market falls below the fixed put strike
      price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from
      the purchaser and receives the difference between the put strike price and
      market price from the counterparty.  If the market price is
      between the call and put strike price, no payments are due from either
      party.

·
            Floors
      contain a floor price (put) whereby PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and the difference between
      the market price and floor price from the counterparty if the commodity
      market price falls below the floor strike price, but receives no payment
      when the commodity market price exceeds the floor
  price.





The
Managing General Partner enters into derivative instruments for Partnership
production to reduce the impact of price declines in future
periods.  While these derivatives are structured to reduce exposure to
changes in price associated with the derivative commodity, they also limit the
benefit the Partnership might otherwise have received from price changes in the
physical market.  The Partnership believes the derivative instruments
in place continue to be effective in achieving the risk management objectives
for which they were intended.





Valuation
of a contract’s fair value is performed internally.  While the
Managing General Partner uses common industry practices to develop the
Partnership’s valuation techniques, changes in pricing methodologies or the
underlying assumptions could result in different fair values.  At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership had the following asset and
liability positions related to its open commodity-based derivative instruments
for a portion of the Partnership’s oil and natural gas production.

Note 5 -
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments





Derivative Financial
Instruments





Determination of fair
value.  The Partnership measures fair value based upon quoted
market prices, where available.  The Managing General Partner’s
valuation determination includes: (1) identification of the inputs to the fair
value methodology through the review of counterparty statements and other
supporting documentation, (2) determination of the validity of the source of the
inputs, (3) corroboration of the original source of inputs through access to
multiple quotes, if available, or other information and (4) monitoring changes
in valuation methods and assumptions.  The methods described above may
produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future fair
values.  The Managing General Partner’s valuation determination also
gives consideration to the nonperformance risk on Partnership liabilities in
addition to nonperformance risk on PDC’s own business interests and liabilities,
as well as the credit standing of derivative instrument
counterparties.  The Managing General Partner primarily uses two
investment grade financial institutions as counterparties to its derivative
contracts.  The Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit risk
of the Partnership’s derivative assets from counterparties using relevant credit
market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each
counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative
position.  The Managing General Partner has determined based on this
evaluation, that the impact of counterparty non-performance on the fair value of
the Partnership’s derivative instruments is insignificant for the
Partnership.  Thus, no valuation allowance has been recorded by the
Partnership as of December 31, 2008.  Furthermore, while the Managing
General Partner believes these valuation methods are appropriate and consistent
with that used by other market participants, the use of different methodologies,
or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments
could result in a different estimate of fair value.

Valuation
hierarchy.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The
valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of
an asset or liability as of the measurement date, giving the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable data (Level 3).  In some cases, the inputs used to
measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value
hierarchy.  The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value
measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value
hierarchy.  Assessing the significance of a particular input to the
fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors
specific to the asset or liability.  The three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value are defined as:





Level 1 – Quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.





Level 2 – Inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly
observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and (iv) inputs
that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other
means.





Level 3 – Unobservable inputs
for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any,
market activity for the asset or liability.  Instruments included in
Level 3 consist of Partnership commodity derivatives for CIG based natural gas
swaps, NYMEX based oil swaps, natural gas fixed-price floor and ceiling price
collars and natural gas basis protection swaps.





SFAS No.
157 requires fair value measurements to be separately disclosed by level within
the fair value hierarchy and requires a separate reconciliation of fair value
measurements categorized as Level 3.  The following table presents the
Partnership’s assets and liabilities for each hierarchy level, including both
current and non-current portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as
of December 31, 2008:

Performance Standard
Obligation of Managing General Partner





The
Agreement provides for the enhancement of investor cash distributions if the
Partnership does not meet a performance standard defined in the Agreement during
the first 10 years beginning 6 months after the close of the
Partnership.  In general, if the average annual rate of return to the
Investor Partners is less than 12.5% of their subscriptions, the allocation rate
of cash distributions to Investor Partners will increase up to one-half of the
Managing General Partner’s interest until the average annual rate increases to
12.5%, with a corresponding decrease to the Managing General
Partner.  The 12.5% rate of return is calculated by including the
estimated benefit of a 25% income tax savings on the investment in the first
year in addition to cash distributions made to the Investor
Partners.  For the periods ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, no
obligation of the Managing General Partner arose under this
provision.





Unit Repurchase
Provisions





Investor
Partners may request that the Managing General Partner repurchase units at any
time beginning with the third anniversary of the first cash distribution of the
Partnership.  The repurchase price is set at a minimum of four times
the most recent twelve months of cash distributions from
production.  The Managing General Partner is obligated to purchase, in
any calendar year, Investor Partner units aggregating to 10% of the initial
subscriptions if requested by an individual investor partner, subject to its
financial ability to do so and upon receipt of opinions of counsel that the
repurchase will not cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publically traded
partnership” or result in the termination of the Partnership for federal income
tax purposes.  Repurchase requests are fulfilled by the Managing
General Partner on a first-come, first-served basis.





The
Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to Investor Partners in
September 2005.   There were no repurchases in September 2008,
the first month unit repurchases were eligible under the
program.  Fourth quarter 2008 repurchases were made in December 2008
when 2.5 units were repurchased at an average price of $8,938 per
unit.  First quarter 2009 repurchases were made in February 2009, when
4 units were repurchased at an average price of $9,285 per unit and in March
2009, when 3.25 units were purchased at an average price of $9,368 per
unit.

Notes to
Financial Statements





In
addition to the above repurchase program, individual investor partners
periodically offer and PDC repurchases units on a negotiated basis before the
third anniversary of the date of the first cash distribution.  First
quarter 2008 unit repurchases were made in January when the Managing General
Partner repurchased three units at an average price of $10,000 per unit and
February when it repurchased two units at an average price of $8,700 per unit.
During second quarter 2008, 0.75 units were repurchased in April 2008 at an
average price of $8,980 per unit.  Third quarter 2008 repurchases
included 1.25 units repurchased in July at an average price of $15,908 per unit
and 0.25 units repurchased in August at an average price of $8,160 per
unit.





Cash
Distributions





The
Agreement requires the Managing General Partner to distribute cash available for
distribution not less frequently than quarterly.  The Managing General
Partner will determine and distribute, if funds are available for distribution,
cash on a monthly basis.  The Managing General Partner will make cash
distributions of 80% to the Investor Partners and 20% to the Managing General
Partner throughout the term of the Partnership.  The Partnership has
paid cash distributions each month since September
2005.  Distributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
were $5,964,174 and $7,336,048, respectively.

Note 9 -
Commitments and
Contingencies





On May
29, 2007, Glen Droegemueller, individually and as representative plaintiff on
behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against
the Partnership’s Managing General Partner in the District Court, Weld County,
Colorado alleging that the Managing General Partner underpaid royalties on gas
produced from wells operated by the Managing General Partner in the State of
Colorado (the "Droegemueller Action").  The plaintiff seeks
declaratory relief and to recover an unspecified amount of compensation for
underpayment of royalties paid by the Managing General Partner pursuant to
leases.  The Managing General Partner moved the case to Federal Court
on June 28, 2007, and on July 10, 2007, the Managing General Partner filed its
answer and affirmative defenses.





A second
similar Colorado class action suit was filed against the Managing General
Partner in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on December 3,
2007 by Ted Amsbaugh, et al.  On December 31, 2007, the plaintiffs in
this second action filed a motion to consolidate the case with the Droegemueller
action above.  On January 28, 2008, the Court granted the plaintiff’s
motion to consolidate the action with the Droegemueller Action.





The court
approved a stay in proceedings until September 22, 2008 while the parties
pursued mediation of the matter.  Based on the mediation held on May
28, 2008, and subsequent negotiations, $62,798 was accrued by the Partnership
for this litigation for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Although
the Partnership was not named as a party in the suit, the lawsuit states that it
relates to all wells operated by the Managing General Partner, which includes a
majority of the Partnership’s 36 wells in the Wattenberg field.





On
October 10, 2008, the court issued preliminary approval of the settlement
agreement. The portion of the proposed settlement related to the Partnership’s
wells for all periods through December 31, 2008, is approximately $73,000 which
includes legal fees of approximately $5,000.  During 2008, an
additional amount of approximately $5,000 plus legal fees of approximately
$5,000 were recorded to fully accrue for the settlement through December 31,
2008.  In November 2008, the Managing General Partner paid into an
escrow account, on behalf of the Partnership, amounts due under the
settlement.  These amounts will be deducted from future Partnership
distributions.  Notice of the settlement was mailed to members of the
class action suit in fourth quarter 2008 and the final settlement was approved
by the court at a hearing on April 7, 2009.

Development
costs include costs incurred to gain access to and prepare development well
locations for drilling, to recomplete wells and to provide facilities to
extract, treat, gather and store oil and gas.





During
2008, the Partnership received a $128,874 refund from the State of Colorado for
state sales taxes charged during 2005 and 2006 on well tubing and casing
purchases during the Partnership’s drilling operations, which have subsequently
been determined to be tax-exempt.  The refund has been accounted for
as a reduction of the costs of oil and gas properties previously
capitalized.  The Partnership periodically invests in equipment which
supports enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, treatment, delivery and measurement or
environmental protection which totaled approximately $31,000 in
2008.





Net Proved Oil and Gas
Reserves





Our
proved oil and natural gas reserves have been estimated by independent petroleum
engineers. Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared Partnership reserve reports
estimating proved reserves at December 31, 2008 and 2007. These reserve
estimates have been prepared in compliance with professional standards and the
reserves definitions prescribed by the SEC.





Proved
reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas that geologic and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Estimates of proved reserves may change, either positively or
negatively, as additional information becomes available and as contractual,
economic and political conditions change. The Partnership’s net proved reserve
estimates have been adjusted as necessary to reflect all contractual agreements,
royalty obligations and interests owned by others at the time of the
estimate.





Proved
developed reserves are the quantities of oil and natural gas expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from new
wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major
expenditure is required for completion.  In some cases, proved
undeveloped reserves may require substantial new investments in additional wells
and related facilities.





The
following Partnership reserve estimates present the estimate of the proved gas
and oil reserves and net cash flows of the Partnership’s Properties all of which
are located in the United States.  The Managing General Partner’s
management emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that
estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing gas and
oil properties.  Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

At
December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s estimated proved oil and natural gas
reserves experienced a net downward revision of previous estimates of 16 MBbls
of oil and 43 MMcfs of natural gas, respectively.  This net revision
is the result of a downward revision of proved developed producing reserves
amounting to approximately 88 MBbls of oil and 769 MMcfs of natural gas,
respectively, partially offset by an upward revision of proved undeveloped
reserves amounting to approximately 72 MBbls of oil and 726 MMcfs of natural
gas, respectively.  The downward revision to proved developed
producing reserves was primarily due to reduced economics resulting from
significantly lower year-end oil and natural gas prices and higher per-well
operating costs at December 31, 2008.  The upward revision to proved
undeveloped reserves was due primarily to an increase in the production curve
based upon a detailed analysis of the results of the Codell zone refractures in
the Wattenberg Field performed by PDC, the Managing General Partner, over the
last several years.

Standardized Measure of
Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to Proved Oil and
Gas Reserves





Summarized
in the following table is information with respect to the standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas
reserves.  Future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end
prices of oil and gas relating to our proved reserves to the year-end quantities
of those reserves. Future production, development, site restoration and
abandonment costs are derived based on current costs, including production –
related taxes, primarily severance and property, assuming continuation of
existing economic conditions.  Future development costs include the
development costs related to recompletions of wells drilled in the Codell
formation, as described in Item 1, Business—Plan of
Operations.  Since Partnership taxable income is reported in
the separate tax returns of individual investor partners, no future estimated
income taxes are computed and presented herein.

The data
presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from, or
current value of, existing proved reserves since the computations are based on a
large number of estimates and arbitrary assumptions.  Reserve
quantities cannot be measured with precision and their estimation requires many
judgmental determinations and frequent revisions.  The required
projection of production and related expenditures over time requires further
estimates with respect to pipeline availability, rates of demand and
governmental control. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be
substantially different from the current prices and costs utilized in the
computation of reported amounts.  Any analysis or evaluation of the
reported amounts should give specific recognition to the computational methods
utilized and the limitations inherent therein.

Presentation





The PDC
2005-A Limited Partnership (the “Partnership” or the “Registrant”) was organized
as a limited partnership on November 30, 2004, in accordance with the laws of
the State of West Virginia for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and
development of oil and natural gas properties and commenced business operations
on February 9, 2005 upon completion of funding.





The
accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared without audit in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of
America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03(a) and (b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).  Accordingly, pursuant to certain rules and regulations,
certain notes and other financial information included in the accompanying

Transactions with
Managing General Partner and Affiliates





The
Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of the
Partnership.  Revenues and other cash inflows received on behalf of
the Partnership are distributed to the Partners net of (after deducting)
corresponding operating costs and other cash outflows incurred on behalf of the
Partnership.  The fair value of the Partnership’s portion of unexpired
derivative instruments is recorded on the balance sheet under the captions “Due
from Managing General Partner–derivatives” in the case of net unrealized gains
or “Due to Managing General Partner–derivatives” in the case of net unrealized
losses.  Undistributed oil and natural gas revenues collected by the
Managing General Partner from the Partnership’s customers of $1,694,707,
$1,277,992, $1,127,729 and $811,275 as of March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007,
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and $1,135,013,
$1,617,622, $1,713,641 and $565,638 at March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included in the balance sheet
caption “Due from Managing General Partner – other, net.”  The
undistributed oil and natural gas revenues at March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007,
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 have been reclassified from “Accounts
Receivable” to “Due from Managing General Partner – other, net,” to conform to
current year presentation.  Realized gains or losses that have not yet
been distributed to the Partnership are included in the balance sheet caption
“Due from Managing General Partner-other, net” or “Due to Managing General
Partner-other, net,” respectively.  All other unsettled transactions
between the Partnership and the Managing General Partner are also recorded net
on the balance sheet under the caption “Due from (to) Managing General Partner –
other, net.”

Note 3 -
Derivative Financial
Instruments





The
Partnership’s results of operations and operating cash flows are affected by
changes in market prices for oil and natural gas.  To mitigate a
portion of the exposure to adverse market changes, the Managing General Partner
has entered into various derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2008, the
Partnership’s oil and natural gas derivative instruments were comprised of
“swaps” and “collars” in addition to “basis protection swaps.”  These
instruments generally consist of Colorado Interstate Gas Index, or CIG, based
contracts for Colorado gas production and New York Mercantile Exchange, or
NYMEX, based contracts for Colorado oil production.  In addition to
the fixed-price swaps, collars and basis protection swaps, which remain in
effect at December 31, 2008, the Managing General Partner previously utilized
“floor” contracts to reduce the impact of natural gas and oil price declines in
subsequent periods.  Through October 31, 2007, the Partnership’s
natural gas derivative instruments were comprised of natural gas floors and
collars while its oil derivative instruments were comprised of oil
“floors.”





·
            For
      swap instruments, if the market price is below the fixed contract price,
      PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the
      purchaser and receives the difference between the market price and the
      fixed contract price from the counterparty.  If the market price
      is above the fixed contract price, PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the difference
      between the market price and the fixed contract price to the
      counterparty.





·
            Basis
      protection swaps are arrangements that guarantee a price differential for
      natural gas valued at a specified pricing point, or hub.  For
      CIG basis protection swaps that have a negative pricing differential to
      NYMEX, PDC as Managing General Partner receives a payment from the
      counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of
      the contract and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less
      than the stated terms of the
contract.





·
            Collars
      contain a fixed floor price (put) and ceiling price (call).  If
      the market price exceeds the fixed call strike price, PDC, as Managing
      General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the
      difference between the call strike price and market price to the
      counterparty.  If the market falls below the fixed put strike
      price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from
      the purchaser and receives the difference between the put strike price and
      market price from the counterparty.  If the market price is
      between the call and the put strike price, no payments are due from either
      party.

·
            Floors
      contain a floor price (put) whereby PDC, as Managing General Partner,
      receives the market price from the purchaser and the difference between
      the market price and floor price from the counterparty if the commodity
      market price falls below the floor strike price, but receives no payment
      when the commodity market price exceeds the floor
  price.





The
Managing General Partner enters into derivative instruments for Partnership
production to reduce the impact of price declines in future
periods.  While these derivatives are structured to reduce exposure to
changes in price associated with the derivative commodity, they also limit the
benefit the Partnership might otherwise have received from price changes in the
physical market.  The Partnership believes the derivative instruments
in place continue to be effective in achieving the risk management objectives
for which they were intended.





Valuation
of a contract’s fair value is performed internally.  While the
Managing General Partner uses common industry practices to develop the
Partnership’s valuation techniques, changes in pricing methodologies or the
underlying assumptions could result in different fair values.  During
2008 and 2007, at the end of the three month periods noted below, the
Partnership had the following asset and liability positions related to its open
commodity-based derivative instruments for a portion of the Partnership’s oil
and natural gas production.

Note 4 -
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments





Derivative Financial
Instruments





The
Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
effective January 1, 2008.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures related
to fair value measurements.





Valuationhierarchy.  SFAS No. 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value.  The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of
inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date,
giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the
lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3).  In some cases, the
inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair
value hierarchy.  The lowest level input that is significant to a fair
value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair
value hierarchy.  Assessing the significance of a particular input to
the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering
factors specific to the asset or liability.





SFAS No.
157 requires fair value measurements to be separately disclosed by level within
the fair value hierarchy and requires a separate reconciliation of fair value
measurements categorized as Level 3.  Fair value Level 3 inputs
areunobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little,
if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  Instruments
included in Level 3 consist of Partnership commodity derivatives for CIG based
natural gas swaps, NYMEX based oil swaps, natural gas fixed-price floor and
ceiling price collars and natural gas basis protection swaps.

The
Managing General Partner’s valuation determination also gives consideration to
the nonperformance risk on Partnership liabilities.  The Managing
General Partner has evaluated the credit risk of the Partnership’s derivative
assets from counterparties using relevant credit market default rates, giving
consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of
each outstanding derivative position.  The Managing General Partner
has determined based on this evaluation, that the impact of counterparty
non-performance on the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments is
insignificant for the Partnership.  Thus, no valuation allowance has
been recorded by the Partnership in 2008.

“Drilling
advances to Managing General Partner” represent unused prepayments to the
Managing General Partner for the development of oil and natural gas properties
which will be used for future capital costs.





Note 6 -
Commitmentsand Contingencies





On May
29, 2007, Glen Droegemueller, individually and as representative plaintiff on
behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against
the Partnership’s Managing General Partner in the District Court, Weld County,
Colorado alleging that the Managing General Partner underpaid royalties on gas
produced from wells operated by the Managing General Partner in the State of
Colorado (the "Droegemueller Action").  The plaintiff seeks
declaratory relief and to recover an unspecified amount of compensation for
underpayment of royalties paid by the Managing General Partner pursuant to
leases.  The Managing General Partner moved the case to Federal Court
on June 28, 2007, and on July 10, 2007, the Managing General Partner filed its
answer and affirmative defenses.





A second
similar Colorado class action suit was filed against the Managing General
Partner in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on December 3,
2007 by Ted Amsbaugh, et al.  On December 31, 2007, the plaintiffs in
this second action filed a motion to consolidate the case with the Droegemueller
action above.  On January 28, 2008, the Court granted the plaintiff’s
motion to consolidate the action with the Droegemueller Action.





The court
approved a stay in proceedings until September 22, 2008 while the parties
pursued mediation of the matter.  Based on the mediation held on May
28, 2008, and subsequent negotiations, $62,798 was accrued by the Partnership
for this litigation for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Although
the Partnership was not named as a party in the suit, the lawsuit states that it
relates to all wells operated by the Managing General Partner, which includes a
majority of the Partnership’s 36 wells in the Wattenberg field.

On
October 10, 2008, the court issued preliminary approval of the settlement
agreement.  The portion of the proposed settlement plus legal fees
related to the Partnership’s wells at June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007,
December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2008 was $62,798, $62,798, $62,798, $62,993, $64,586, $68,048 and
$72,636, respectively.  In November 2008, the Managing General Partner
paid into an escrow account, on behalf of the Partnership, amounts due under the
settlement.  These amounts will be deducted from future Partnership
distributions.  Notice of the settlement was mailed to members of the
class action suit in fourth quarter 2008 and the final settlement was approved
by the court at a hearing on April 7, 2009.
